Answer:
a) are liable only for the amount of their capital contributions
Step-by-step explanation:
A limited partner is a type of partnership that defines the liability of a partner in a partnership business to be restricted to only the initial capital contributed by him. That is, whose liability for the firm's debts cannot exceed the amount that an individual invested in the company. Limited partners are frequently called silent partners.
A limited partner or silent partner capitalizes money in trade for shares in the partnership but has constrained voting power on company business decisions and no day-to-day involvement in the business.
