Solution

The correct answer is: The ownership of assets is transferred from the shareholders to the bondholders.

When a bankruptcy ruling is issued, the company's assets are used to pay off its debts. Shareholders are the last in line to receive any remaining assets after all debts have been paid. Bondholders, on the other hand, are considered creditors and therefore have a higher claim on assets. So, in a bankruptcy, the ownership of assets is typically transferred from the shareholders to the bondholders.
