Correct Answer: C. receive certificate of incorporation

Explanation

They both raise capital through the sales of share, they both require more than one person to start, they are controlled by a board of directors and they have separate legal status. A certificate of incorporation is a legal document issued by the government or relevant authority that confirms the formation and registration of a company as a legal entity.
