The correct answer is C) common stockholders, but after that of bondholders.

Explanation:

Preferred shares grant an additional economic privilege, which allows for greater compensation when the dividend distribution is made. Therefore, a request issued by these shareholders directly affects the general result, and must be evaluated in order to grant the required returns to each individual partner.
