How to approach this question
Identify 'sensitive' words that are restricted in company names.
Full Answer
C.Royal✓ Correct
The Companies Act 2006 restricts the use of 'sensitive' words in company names to prevent the public from being misled. Words implying a connection to the Crown (e.g., 'Royal', 'King'), government, or certain professions (e.g., 'Bank', 'University') require prior approval from the Secretary of State.
Common mistakes
Assuming any grand-sounding word is restricted.
