    Option (B) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Issued preferred stock outstanding that pays dividend per year = $7.75

    Current selling price = $68.19 per share

    Required return = (Annual dividend : Current price) * 100

    = ($7.75 : $68.19) * 100

    = 11.37% (Approx)

    Therefore, the required return is 11.37% if this issue currently sells for $68.19 per share.
