The correct answer is A - Sole proprietors keep all profits and have unlimited liability, while partners split profits and share liabilities.

A sole proprietorship is one person/family who owns a particular business, which means that all revenue belongs to them. On the other hand, in the case of a partnership, all partners have to share everything - revenue and liabilities because they own a portion of a business.
