    Option (A) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Total dividends = $45,000 (Paid in 2010 and 2011)

    common stock outstanding = 20,000 shares

    Preferred dividend:

    = No. of shares * Par value * 5%

    = 5,000 * $100 * 5%

    = $25,000

    Dividends received by the common stockholders in 2011:

    = Total dividends - Preferred dividend

    = ($45,000 * 2) - ($25,000 * 3)

    = $90,000 - $75,000

    = $15,000
