Reference - Shaky Bicycles. Rhonda, an incorporator who filed the articles of incorporation for ABC Corporation, a corporation set up to sell bicycles, listed the correct town and street but incorrectly put the wrong street number in the document. Helen, a manufacturer of bicycle parts, had sold a number of parts to ABC Corporation. Unfortunately, the corporation was not making any profit, and Helen was not paid in a timely manner. Rhonda told her that the corporation was not liable because it was not validly formed due to the address mistake. Bernice, another creditor of ABC Corporation, also claimed that a shareholder of Shaky Bicycles, Slick, was personally liable to her. Bernice alleged that Slick committed fraud against her when he told her that ABC Corporation was making large amounts of money, that if she would only loan $50,000 to the corporation he would marry her, and that the corporation would make so much money that she would be wealthy in six months. She loaned the funds, but the corporation has been unable to repay her. Slick told her that he is sorry, but that her only avenue of recovery is through the corporation. Which of the following is the likely result of Helen's attempt to hold the corporation liable for her debt?
A) She will likely be successful.
B) She will be successful only if ABC Corporation removes its de jure status.
C) She will be successful only if ABC Corporation removes its de facto status.
D) She will be successful only if ABC Corporation has at least 50 shareholders.
E) She will likely be unsuccessful.
