An entrepreneur is someone who:

• A. Works for a salary
• B. Loves marketing
• C. Owns and starts a business
• D. Manages a department

Answer: (C)

Entrepreneurship is about turning an opportunity into a business by starting and owning it, taking on financial risk, and organizing the necessary resources to make the idea work. That’s why the statement that describes an entrepreneur—the person who starts and owns a business—fits best.

Other descriptions don’t define an entrepreneur as clearly: someone who works for a salary describes an employee, not the act of starting or owning a business; someone who manages a department is typically a leadership role within an existing company; and liking marketing is a skill or interest, not the defining action of launching and owning a business.
