Question

marcus has decided to open an auto - detailing business. he will pick up an automobile from the client, take it to his parents garage, detail it, and return it to the client. if he does all of the work himself and takes no legal steps to form a special organization, which type of business organization, in effect, has he chosen?

a. a corporation

b. a limited - liability company

c. a sole proprietorship

d. a partnership

Explanation:

A sole proprietorship is a business owned and run by one individual with no formal legal setup. Marcus runs the auto - detailing business alone and takes no legal steps to form a special organization, so it's a sole proprietorship. A corporation, LLC, and partnership involve more structure or multiple parties, which don't fit here.

Answer:

C. a sole proprietorship
