D. have the right to receive dividends only in the years the board of directors declares dividends.

Explanation:

As we know that the dividend is received when the board of director declared the dividend for that the company should have enough balance for distribution of dividend

After declaring the dividend the first priority is given to the preference stockholders after distributing them the remaining amount is distributed to common stockholders

This can all happen after declaring the dividend by the board of directors
