The answer is: B) Did not terminate.

Explanation:

S corporations (small business corporation) are corporations that choose to pass corporate income, losses, deductions, and credits through to their shareholders for taxation purposes.

In order for an S Corporation to terminate, stockholders owning more than 50% of the corporation's stock must file a revocation statement.

Dart Corp has 100,000 common stocks outstanding, so to file a revocation statement, stockholders owning at least 50,001 stocks must approve it. In this case only stockholders owning 35,000 stocks approved the revocation statement.
