In the context of securities, what problem does the escrowing of shares aim to prevent?

  1. Market manipulation

  2. Insider trading

  3. Value fluctuations

  4. Dividend withholding

The correct answer is: Value fluctuations

Escrowing of shares aims to prevent value fluctuations in securities. Market manipulation, insider trading, and dividend withholding are all related to illegal or unethical practices in the securities market. These issues are not directly addressed by the escrowing of shares, which instead focuses on stabilizing and protecting the value of securities. Therefore, they are incorrect options.
