Answer 1

The correct answer is A. She signed documents personally securing the debts of the business.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anyone who joins another to develop a common project is a partner (from the Latin "socius") or partner. It is the contract that is established between the two, to regulate that relationship, that defines the responsibility of each of them for the whole project.

From a legal point of view, it is in that contract, at the very moment of incorporating the company, when obligations, rights, powers, etc. are also defined. And it is that by establishing the company an independent entity of the partners is created, with its own legal personality and its own assets.

Therefore, we find a scenario in which the legal entity, which is the company, appears on the one hand, and on the other, the natural persons, who are the partners that integrate it (or the partner in case of being before an SLU ).
