    The answer is C.

    Explanation:

    When a company has stock options, warrants outstanding, diluted EPS is calculated as if the financial instruments had been exercised and the company had used the proceeds from exercise to repurchase as many shares of common stock as possible at the average market price of common stock during the period.

    As a result, the number of shares outstanding would increase by the incremental number of shares issued

    So let's start with the calculation:

    Diluted EPS under this method is

    =Net income/number of shares outstanding plus new shares that would have been issued at option

    Common stock outstanding is 4 million shares

    Option is 2 million shares

    So, total number of outstanding shares is 4+2 = 6million.

    Net income for 2008 is $10million

    Therefore EPS equals:

    $10/6miillion shares

    = $1.67
