Which of the following is listed as a business entity type in the material?

• A. Corporation
• B. Limited Partnership
• C. Sole Proprietorship
• D. Nonprofit Organization

Answer: (C)

When you study business entity types, you’ll see solo ownership highlighted as a basic form that solo artists often use. A sole proprietorship is the simplest structure: one person owns and runs the business, with no separate legal entity from the owner. Taxes flow directly to the owner on their personal return, and the owner bears personal liability for any debts. This is distinct from corporations or LLCs, which provide a separate legal personality and liability protection, and from nonprofit organizations, which are organized for charitable or public-benefit purposes with different tax rules. The material specifically lists this single-owner format as one of the business entity options, which is why it’s identified as the correct choice.
