Corporate stockholders are not responsible for the debts of the corporation. this is most likely an example of a) dividends. b) partnerships. c) limited liability. d) unlimited liability.

limited liability.

Explanation: In the case of limited liability, considering corporations as a separate entity the stockholders cannot be held liable for the debts of the corporation. Here a stockholder’s financial liability is restricted to a certain amount, generally the value of a stockholder’s investment in that partnership or company. If a legal suit is filed against a company with limited liability, then the claimants are only suing the company, not its investors or owners. Hence, in a limited company, a shareholder is only liable for any unpaid amount on the shares in the company and the amount invested in the company, whereas not for any of the debts of the company.

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
