Final Answer : A, Explanation :  In widely held companies, a share of 15%-25% is generally enough for effective control if no other single entity owns a significantly large percentage. This is because the remaining shares are dispersed among a large number of shareholders, each holding a small percentage, making it unlikely for any one of them to challenge the control of the 15%-25% shareholder.
