Option D all the way! Gotta love those comprehensive answers. Although, who came up with that 'minimum one shareholder' rule? Clearly, they never met my aunt Gertrude.

Ha! I bet the correct answer is (ii) and (iii) - one shareholder? Really? That's gotta be a trick question. I'm going with option B, for sure.

I'm not so sure, I think (i) and (ii) make more sense in this context.

I think you might be onto something there, (ii) and (iii) do seem more likely.
