B) Operational control? No way, that's the CEO's job. The Chairman is more of a figurehead, not involved in day-to-day operations.

This question reminds me of a practice question we did on Board responsibilities, and I feel like A is the best choice based on that.

I’m a bit confused because I thought operational control was more for the CEO, but I could be mixing up the roles.

I remember discussing the roles of the Chairman in class, and I think it’s definitely about guiding the Board, so A seems right.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I'll eliminate the options that don't seem to match the Chairman's role, then choose the one that best fits the description in the Code.

C) Authorizing major investments? Nah, that's a bit too much power for the Chairman. I'd go with A.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem pretty similar, so I'll need to carefully read through the Code to make sure I understand the Chairman's specific responsibilities.
