I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. From what I recall, Agency Theory arose due to the potential conflicts of interest between those running the company (the agents) and the owners/shareholders (the principals). So I think option C is the best answer here.

Okay, I remember learning about Agency Theory in class. I believe it emerged to help solve governance problems between managers and shareholders, so I'm leaning towards option B. I'll double-check my understanding, but that seems like the most accurate choice.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'm not totally sure about the specifics of how Agency Theory came about. I'll need to think through the options carefully and see if I can eliminate any that don't seem quite right.
