    The correct answer is B

    Explanation:

    As the share of IBM is bought by an individual investor at $75, later the investor sold it to another investor for $125. So, the first investor earns the profit of $50 from selling the share of IBM. Therefore, the first investor is the one who is getting profits or benefits from this sale of the share.

    Working Note:

    Profit = Selling Price - Purchase Price

    = $125 - $75

    = $50
