Debussey Fields owns the controlling interest of Chickadee, Inc., a publicly traded corporation with a board comprised of a majority of outside directors. While he is aware, and generally approves, of corporate policies, he doesn't always agree with management and the board's decisions. He has occasionally informed them when he has been displeased and often, after he has done so, the policy in question is brought into compliance with his wishes. One of Chickadee's policies has resulted in a significant civil damage claim against the company, which it settled for a large sum of money. Madame Bo Vary, a minority shareholder sues the company and Fields, as the controlling shareholder, for the loss suffered by Chickadee in settling the suit (you may assume Vary's suit is properly brought and you may assume that there was a lack of care by the board in instituting the relevant policy). In her claim against Fields, Vary will:

a.

lose because shareholders may vote in their own self-interest without liability.

b.

lose because the board was made up of a majority of outside directors.

c.

win because the directors are the agents of Debussey.

d.

there are insufficient facts to draw a conclusion. If you choose this answer
