Answer:

B) Payment of dividends

Dividend is the reward, (which can either be cash or non-cash) paid by a corporation out of profit or reserve at the end of a period to its shareholders. This share of profit is a reward received by investors as a result of their investment in a corporation

Where dividend is paid out of the cash asset of the corporation, it will represent cash outflow from the corporation.
