Joseph Hess · Answer 1

Option A only is observed to be true.

Explanation:

A subsidiary corporation cannot detect losses on distribution on either the parent corporation or minority shareholders - in Sec 322 liquidation.

in addition, Section 336 does not prevent the detection of a loss when making a pro-rata distribution of property to a related person.

Therefore, only option A is observed to be true.
