25,000 shares is just 25% ownership.

WX needs at least 20% ownership for an associate investment.

I feel like option B could also be a contender if it meets the influence criteria, but I’m not confident about the exact numbers needed for associates.

I practiced a similar question where the ownership percentage was key, but I can't recall if preference shares count towards that percentage.

I think option C makes the most sense since purchasing 75,000 equity shares should definitely give WX significant influence, but I need to double-check the thresholds for associates.

I remember that an associate investment typically requires at least 20% ownership, but I'm not sure if that applies to both equity and preference shares.
