A. It will stay the same.

Explanation:

The formula to compute the dividend yield is shown below:

= (Annual dividend : market price) * 100

Since in the question, it is given that the expected dividend is growing at the constant growth rate i. e 6.50%, so the expected dividend yield will remain the same in the future.

As it shows a direct relationship between the growth rate and the dividend yield plus the market price is growing at a steady rate
