    Option A is the most correct option, you could lose up to your $500 investment

    Explanation:

    The principle of limited liability is that the liabilities of an individual shareholder is limited to the amount invested in the shares of the company.

    Should the debts of the company outweigh its asset resources, the shareholders would not be required to make up for the short-fall from private pockets unlike the sole proprietors or partners in a partnership business.

    The most the investor can lose should be company go under due its environmental violations is $500, the sum invested in the company.
