Solution

The correct answer is "the amount stockholders have invested in exchange for stock".

Contributed capital, also known as paid-in capital, is the total value of the stock that shareholders have bought directly from the company. It represents the investment by the stockholders in the company. It does not include any earnings retained by the company, nor any dividends paid out by the company. Therefore, it is not related to accumulated earnings, dividends, or donations from creditors.
