Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Sudershan wants to start a small business with a low investment (less than Rs. 1,00,000) and wishes to manage and control it by himself. These characteristics are most suitable for a Sole Proprietorship, which is a form of business owned and operated by a single individual.
Sole Proprietorship: Best suited for individuals starting with small capital, full control, and a desire for easy setup.
Partnership: Involves two or more people, which does not match Sudershan’s desire to manage the business alone.
Private Limited Company: Requires more legal formalities and capital investment.
Public Limited Company: Meant for large-scale businesses with public shareholders; not suitable for a local, personal business. Thus, the best-suited option is (D) Sole Proprietorship.
