问题如下：
To reduce its budget deficit, the state, which is the majority shareholder in a large utility company, is requesting the full distribution of the company’s annual profits to shareholders. The company is heavily indebted. Which of the following behaviors would be most appropriate for the independent members of the board of directors?
选项：
A.Abstaining from voting on the matter of profits distributed to shareholders
B.Complying with the request of the major shareholder to avoid the rise of agency problems
C.Voting against the request of the major shareholder due to the long-term impact on the company
解释：
C is correct. Members of the board of directors should not comply mindlessly with requests issued by company owners, and they should consider the long-term impact of such requests on the company’s business and financial perspectives. Board members should not abdicate their responsibilities on critical matters even when there seems to be a risk of divergence between board members and shareholders.公司负债说明profit是negetive的，为什么不能平均分配给股东，让股东分摊债务？
