Answer:

A) This is called piercing the corporate veil and may result in significant liability for the corporation's principals.

Explanation:

The phrase "Piercing the corporate veil" is used to describe a situation where a court will put aside limited liability and hold a corporation's shareholders or directors liable for the actions and liabilities of the corporation.

This is not a common procedure and courts usually do this based on the following:

  1. "unity of interest and ownership": interest of the shareholders doesn't stand together anymore.
  2. "wrongful conduct": illegal or wrongful actions by the directors or shareholders.
  3. "proximate cause": as a result of the illegal or wrongful actions, other parties were harmed.
