The correct answer is letter "A": a corporation by estoppel.

Explanation:

A corporation by estoppel refers to individuals or organizations contracting and dealing with an entity as if they were corporations when legally they are not. The term is also used when in court cases when the defendant alleges to have formed a defective corporation to avoid liabilities.
