I feel like (ii) is true since both partners and directors act on behalf of their entities, but I can't recall if that makes (i) incorrect.

I practiced a similar question where it mentioned that all partners are liable for debts. I think (iii) is definitely correct, but I'm not sure about the others.

I'm a bit unsure about the liability part. I thought companies had limited liability, but I'm not clear on how that applies to partnerships.

I remember that partnerships don't require registration, but companies do. So, I think (i) might be incorrect.
