Explanation:

To determine the correct capitalization, we follow English capitalization rules: proper nouns (like "New Works" as a company name) and the first letter of sentences should be capitalized. The second option has "My" (correctly capitalized start), "New Works" (proper noun capitalized), and other words follow standard capitalization for non - proper nouns in the sentence. The first option has incorrect capitalization of "my", the third and fourth have incorrect formatting of the company name and other capitalization issues.

Answer:

B. my grandfather earns well in the stock market and runs a New Works company (assuming the second option is labeled B; if the original options had different labels, adjust accordingly based on the visual. From the given options, the second one with correct capitalization of "My" (wait, no, "my" should be "My" at the start? Wait, maybe a typo in the options. But among the given, the second option has "my" (should be "My") but the company name "New Works" is capitalized. Assuming the intended correct one is the second option where "New Works" is capitalized and the sentence structure is proper. So the correct option is the second one (assuming labels: if the options are in order, the second radio button option: "my grandfather earns well in the stock market and runs a New Works company").
