Answer:

Correct answer A

Explanation:

A retention ratio is the proportion of net income retained to fund the operational needs of a business. When there is a high retention level, it typically means that management believes there are uses for the cash internally that will provide a rate of return higher than the cost of capital. However, if management is retaining funds for which there is not a good use, investors may end up earning a negative return on the funds.
