Correct answer is C

Joint stock company is a company whose stock is owned jointly by the shareholders.

In the event that a joint stock company declares bankruptcy, the company's shareholders may be entitled to a portion of the liquidated assets, depending on which shares they hold and how much liquid assets are left over. Upon bankruptcy, a firm will be required to sell all of its assets and pay off all debts.
