Answer:

B. Judicial authority seems to suggest that the limited partner has no fiduciary duty to the partnership.

Step-by-step explanation:

A partnership occurs when two or more people come together to pool their resources in a business sharing the risk and rewards that come with the business venture.

Normally a partner is expected to have fuducairy duty to the other partners.

Other partners interest are placed above their own personal interest.

However a limited partner only provides resources to the business without being involved in the running and management of the business.

Since they are non managing partners they do not owe fiduciary duties to the other partners.

They only provide funds in order to get profit
