    Full Answer

    C.A private company limited by guarantee.✓ Correct
    A private company limited by guarantee is the most appropriate structure for non-profit organisations like NGOs, charities, and sports clubs. It provides separate legal personality and limited liability, but instead of shareholders, it has members who guarantee to contribute a nominal amount (usually £1) towards the company's debts if it is wound up.

    Common mistakes
