单选题 An analyst does research about corporate governance. A company's board is most likely to act in the best interests of share owners if:
A. a majority of the board members are independent.
B. members of the board have served for a long time.
C. the hiring of outside consultants by the board requires management approval.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 大部分的董事会成员是独立的，对公司治理有利。董事会成员在公司服务的时间越长，通常越无法应对最新的市场变化，这对公司治理不利，应该进行及时的董事会选举。董事会聘用外部的咨询顾问需要经过管理层的批准，显然董事会决策受到管理层的影响，这对公司治理不利。
