Answer: A. 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected return takes into account whatever dividends and capital gains accrue to a stock over the period.

Expected return = (Price at end of period + Dividends - Price at beginning of period) / Price at beginning of period

= (114 + 6 - 100) / 100

= 20/100

= 20%
