I'm going with C as well. It's the only option that really captures how companies can limit their directors' contracting powers.

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?

Option B seems a bit off to me. Shareholders don't have the ability to directly enter into contracts on behalf of the company, that's the directors' job.

I think option C is the correct answer. Companies can definitely restrict their directors' ability to enter into certain contracts by placing those restrictions in their articles of association.

It's crucial for shareholders to be aware of the restrictions placed on directors in order to ensure that the company operates within the boundaries set by its articles of association.

That's true, it's important for companies to have clear guidelines in place to regulate the actions of their directors when it comes to contracting.

But what about option A? It also makes sense because if the directors ignore restrictions, outsiders shouldn't be able to enforce the contract.
