Answer:

B. Dividend; retained earnings

Step-by-step explanation:

The payment made by a firm to its shareholders as a distribution of profits is called dividend. If a company makes profit then it reinvests the profits and pays a proportion of the profit as divided to its shareholders.

It can be in cash or in forms of further shares. While retained earnings are the earning that a company has earned after paying dividends and other distribution to the investors. It is reinvested every time there is an entry in the accounting records.
