    c. protects the current shareholders against a dilution of their ownership interests.

    Explanation:

    Preemtive rights of a shareholder is the right of a current shareholder to buy a certain amount of future shares that will be issued by the company. For example if an individual owns 10,000 shares in a company, and the company want to issue 100,000 more shares. The shareholder may have a right to by extra 10,000 shares of the new issue.

    This guarantees that old shareholder's ownership interests are not diluted.
