Final answer:
Each employee received approximately 62 shares.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, the total number of shares is 163,122 and the shares are distributed equally among the employees. To determine the number of shares each employee received, we need to divide the total number of shares by the total number of employees. Adding up the number of employees in all five plants, we get a total of 753 + 318 + 904 + 221 + 435 = 2631 employees. Dividing 163,122 by 2631 gives us approximately 62 shares per employee. Therefore, the correct answer is option E: none of the provided options.
