When an individual buy shares of a company's stock, They Gain partial ownerships in the corporation (option A)

If the individual buy 10 % of the total stocks, it means that individual own 10% of the company. If his ownerships goes above 50 % , he became a majority owner and basically can make all the decision in the company
