D sounds right to me based on what we studied about shadow directors, but I can't shake the feeling that there might be a nuance I'm missing.

I'm a bit confused about C. I remember discussing how a director can be called different names, but does that really make it correct?

I feel like I've seen a similar question before, and I thought the first directors are indeed appointed at incorporation, so A seems correct to me.

I think option B might be the one that's incorrect, but I'm not entirely sure. I remember something about the Articles of Association being more relevant for appointing directors.

This seems straightforward. I'm going to eliminate the options that are clearly correct based on my understanding, and then focus on the one that seems potentially incorrect.

C is a bit of a head-scratcher. I mean, aren't company secretaries technically employees of the company? Seems like a tricky one.
