Answer 1

B. lll only

Step-by-step explanation:

First point is obviously not correct since the company has to pay its taxes. Second point also does not make sense. Fourth point can also be performed in single owner system. Third point is correct since there are some tax benefits that are provided to employee shareholders of the corporations.

Answer 2

B. III only.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Company has a mandate of paying its taxes, so the First point from the question above is incorrect. Second point also is not in any way sensible or logical. Fourth point can also be performed in single owner system. The correct point in the question above will have to be the third point since there will be some benefits in taxes which will be provided to the employee shareholders of the company.
