    Answer:C. Purchasing treasury stock

    Explanation:Treasury stocks are stocks that were repurchased by the issuing company, this repurchased quantity is always guided by the laws existing in the country. This repurchased stock reduces the amount of the outstanding stock of the company available for sale. Treasury stocks are always repurchased at a higher price, hence increasing the stock owner's earnings per share.
