b. a close corporation

Explanation:

A closed corporation refers to a company in which shares are held by select few individuals who usually are closely linked with business. Such form of a company is also referred to as family corporation.

In these form of corporations, the investments from outsiders are closed i. e from general public and thus referred to as a close corporation. Shareholding belong to owners or family members in most of the cases.

Such firms are not listed on stock exchanges and hence do not permit general public to subscribe to their shares. Wherein, any one of the shareholders desires to liquidate his share, the other members buy out such share.

In the given case, Integrated Devices Inc., a private, for profit company is wholly owned by members of the same family. Thus, it represents a close corporation.
