Based on the information provided, we know that the question is referring to a survey of countries' stock holdings at the end of 1994. The question asks for the country with the smallest proportion of stock held by foreigners, which indicates a measure of foreign ownership of that country's stocks. The answer cannot be A) The United Kingdom or B) The United States because both countries are historically known to have significant foreign investment in their stock markets. While D) Germany is a possibility, it is not as likely as C) Japan given Japan's economic policies and history of insularity, as well as its stock market's reputation for being difficult for foreign investors to navigate. Therefore, the best choice is C) Japan.
