C) each partner bears the cost of running a business

Explanation:

One of the main advantages of setting up a joint venture is that both parties share the costs of setting up the new enterprise and share the business risks associated with the new enterprise.

The same way the companies share the costs and risks, they will also share the benefits of the new enterprise. In this case they will share the profits, reduce costs though economies of scale and possibly exchange new technologies.
