Wait, shareholders can't stop directors? That seems off.

I feel like option A could be correct, but I can't recall if outsiders can enforce contracts if directors ignore restrictions.

I'm a little confused by the wording of some of these options. The question is asking about the company's ability to contract, but a few of the answers seem to be focused on the directors or shareholders. I'll need to re-read this a few times to make sure I'm interpreting it correctly.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is understanding that companies can place restrictions on their directors' contracting ability in the articles of association. If the directors ignore those restrictions, the outsiders may not be able to enforce the contract. I'll go with option C.

Haha, option D is a classic case of 'too little, too late'. If the shareholders can't stop the directors, what's the point of having those restrictions in the first place?
