I believe statement 3 is correct, as many supervisory boards do include employee representatives. But I’m not confident about the specifics of statement 1.

I’m a bit confused about employee representatives on the supervisory board. I feel like I’ve seen that in some examples, but I’m not completely sure if it’s always the case.

I remember practicing a question about the composition of management boards, and I think they are indeed made up of executive directors. So, statement 2 seems correct.

I think the supervisory board actually oversees the management board, not the other way around. So, I'm unsure about statement 1.

Haha, I bet the person who wrote this question is a total corporate nerd. But I guess even us regular folks need to know this stuff. I'll go with C, it sounds the most plausible.

Option A, definitely. The management board being all executives is a classic corporate structure. Why would they include the employees on the supervisory board? That's just asking for trouble!
