    D) 7.5%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Using dividend growth model,

    Price, P = D / (r - g)

    where, D = Dividend, r = cost of equity = 10%, and g = growth rate

    we know that

    => r - g = D / P = Dividend yield = 2.5%

    => Growth rate, g = 10% - 2.5% = 7.5%

    therefore the constant growth rate in dividends is closest to = 7.5%
