Correct Answer:

A-III, B-I, C-II

Explanation:

To establish a partnership, a minimum of two individuals must unite with a shared objective. Thus, a firm can have at least two partners. However, there is a maximum limit on the number of partners. As per Section 464 of the Companies Act 2013, the Central Government has the authority to specify the maximum number of partners in a firm, which cannot exceed 100. Accordingly, the Central Government has set the maximum number of partners in a firm to be 50.
