    A enthusiasm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B apathy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C skepticism Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D relief Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word "skepticism" means doubt or uncertainty, which aligns with the context of shareholders being concerned about the associated risks of the company's decision to expand its operations overseas. The other options do not fit the context: "enthusiasm" would imply excitement, "apathy" suggests indifference, and "relief" indicates a positive response, none of which convey the concerns about risks.
