Hmm, I'm not sure about D. Small debts don't seem like enough to warrant piercing the veil. But the other options definitely seem valid to me.

I'm not sure about D and E though. They seem like they could be risky, but not necessarily cases where the veil should be lifted.

I think the correct answers are B, C, and E. Lifting the corporate veil is justified when a company is insolvent, evading taxes, or engaging in risky international trade during conflict.

I agree with Brett. Those companies are clearly engaging in unethical practices.
