Answer: D. Transferability of investor ownership.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Roman owns shares in a company called Copnay Telecom Inc. and that the company's financial performance has been declining over the past few months, and the value of its stock has been decreasing.
We are further told that Roman wants to proactively cut his losses and therefore sells his shares and that Jeremy, a trading enthusiast, buys shares in Copnay Telecom because he believes that the share prices cannot go anywhere but up.
The characteristics of a public stock company that this scenario best exemplify is transferability of investor ownership. This was illustrated when Roman transferred his ownership to Jeremy.
