answer explanation: 

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">The phrase "When investing in stock" is an introductory adverbial phrase, which sets the context or condition. After such a phrase, you would need the base form of the verb to give a directive or advice. In this case, "take" (Option B) is the appropriate base form of the verb to complete the imperative statement.<span><span style="">&nbsp;</span></span></p>
