Answer 1

Answer: C. before Zhou invested Sebie prepared a detailed business and sales forcast, and provided Zhou with copies.

Step-by-step explanation:

The provision of the detailed business plan to Zhoue is to familiarize her with details of how the business will run and once she keeps track with this, it cannot be a basis for Zhoue to acuse Serbie of fraud.

An assertion by Serbia or clear declaration of having experience or working in floral retail to Zhoue is a basis for fraud.

The compensation of Zhoue with 25% return in the business which is less than her initial investment in the business is also a basis for fraud claim by Zhoue.
