Answer:. b. to the extent of his investment in the firm.

Explanation:

In a Limited Liability Company, the legal characteristics of the company is that the owners be liable for debts only up to the amount of capital that they invested. That is where the name comes from because the liability that the owners can take on are limited.

For instance, if in the above scenario Klondike went bankrupt and owed people $3,000. If all Jay had invested was $1,000, the maximum amount that can be taken from Jay is his $1,000 capital and nothing more.
