Definitely A. Shareholders, employees, and even the janitor are all stakeholders in the organization's success. You can't just ignore the little guy!

This is a tricky one, but I have to go with A. Stakeholders can be anyone from customers to suppliers to the local community.

I'm going with A. Stakeholders can be internal or external, as long as they have a vested interest in the organization.

D seems too narrow. Shareholders and employees are definitely stakeholders, but there are other groups that have a stake in the organization's success.
