I agree with the other candidates. Lifting the veil for those shady orange and black companies is a no-brainer. Although, I have to say, the pink company sounds more like a fashion label than a serious business.

I think we can all agree that the orange and black companies are the ones that need to be looked into.

Yeah, those companies are definitely shady. The pink company does sound more like a fashion label though.

Haha, the red company must be running on fumes if they're still trading with small debts. But hey, at least they're being honest about it, unlike those tax-dodging white company jokers.

Hmm, I'm not sure about D. Small debts don't seem like enough to warrant piercing the veil. But the other options definitely seem valid to me.

Yeah, A, B, C, and E definitely raise some red flags that warrant lifting the veil.

I'm not sure about D and E though. They seem like they could be risky, but not necessarily cases where the veil should be lifted.

I think the correct answers are B, C, and E. Lifting the corporate veil is justified when a company is insolvent, evading taxes, or engaging in risky international trade during conflict.
