32%

Explanation:

Since the question, it is mentioned that Mr. Seider owns 32% of the outstanding common stock of Greenfield Corporation. And, he also received the stock dividend of 10%.

But after the stock dividend, the ownership would remain the same i. e 32% because the dividend is based on the ownership criteria. As the dividend is distributed on the number of shares owned by the shareholder. So, the ownership would be 32% after the stock dividend
