Explanation:

The board of directors of a company are elected group of people that represents the interest of shareholders of a company.

They provide oversight by meeting at intervals to set policies that will govern the company.

In the given scenario the CEO got interest-free loans, for having the company purchase and furnish a lavish apartment in Paris for her personal use on her twice-yearly trips there, and for excessive stock options.

This is with the consent of the board of directors and despite the company earning below-average returns.

It is a sign that the board of directors is weak and are not adequately representating the wishes of the shareholders.

its kinda hard to answer this when we dont have all the information that we need.
