2y ago#1Yes! But what is your choice?
You didn’t answer if it was A or D? I opted for D.
2y ago#3I too opt for D. Looking at the options (poor question!) statement 3 MUST be correct. So all we now need to do is consider statement 1. If that too is correct, then we ned to consider statements 2 and 3.
So, statement 1. Clearly incorrect - a public company may offer its shares to the public, but is not required to. So, if statement 1 is incorrect, that nullifies options A, B and C
And that leaves option D as the correct one
OK?
