Explanation
Limited Companies: Correct Statements
Steps:
- Identify statements about limited companies (e.g., liability, ownership, formation).
- Evaluate statement 1: True, as limited companies restrict owner liability to invested capital.
- Evaluate statement 2: False, since limited companies can be publicly traded, not just private.
- Evaluate statement 3: False, because shares are transferable without full member consent in public limited companies.
- Select option matching only statement 1 as correct.
Why B is correct:
- B states "1 only," aligning with the legal definition where limited liability protects personal assets, per company law.
Why the others are wrong:
- A includes false statement 2 on company type restrictions.
- C includes false statements 2 and 3 on trading and transfer rules.
- D selects only false statement 3 on share transfers.
Not enough information on exact statements, but based on standard definitions.
Final answer: B
