## Answer

Dividend | dividends

## Explanation

The correct term is dividend. This refers to the portion of corporate profits paid out to shareholders as a return on their investment.

What to watch: The key words are "profits" and "people who own shares." A payment from profits to shareholders is a "dividend." One word is enough. Avoid "interest," which is paid on loans or savings.

## Hints

- Think about the financial term for a share of profits given to investors.
- The word starts with the letter 'D' and is commonly used in stock market discussions.
