Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. A horizontal merger involves companies in the same industry combining. When AT&T bought out BellSouth, it was a horizontal merger as they were both in the telecommunications industry.
  2. Non - profit businesses aim for social regeneration rather than making a profit. Earning money and making a living are profit - related motives, and moral digression is not a valid business motive.
  3. In a corporation, the board of directors makes decisions; in a partnership, the partners make decisions; in a sole proprietorship, the sole proprietor makes decisions. So the decision - makers are the owners of the company (board of directors in a corporation), the partners, and the sole proprietor.

Answer:

  1. B. Horizontal Merger
  2. C. Social Regeneration
  3. A. The owners of the company, the partners, the sole proprietor
