Answer 1

(d) None. No provisions exist.

Step-by-step explanation:

B&P Code § 6738 prohibits a non-licensed person from being the sole proprietor of an engineering business. The non-licensed can be a partner in an engineering business that offers civil, electrical, or mechanical services. It is mandatory that at least one licensed engineer must be a co-owner of the business.
