Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A sole proprietorship is the most likely organization for Dr. Martin Harris, given that he is the sole owner and operator of his dental clinic, and only has two employees. A partnership would indicate that he has a partner, which is not stated in the scenario. A corporation or cooperative would suggest a larger and more complex organization, which is not the case for Dr.Harris.
