The Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors Actually Determines

The nominating committee of the board of directors actually determines the board's membership because:

A) they are the only ones who can vote on this matter.
B) virtually all shareholders who vote for directors do so through the use of a proxy,and the majority of shareholders who return their proxies vote as management advises.
C) very few institutional investors exercise their right to vote their shares,so the choice of the nominating committee usually prevails.
D) most individual investors exercise their right to vote their shares,and they tend to rely on the recommendation of the nominating committee.
