An illegal partnership :

A: can sue
B: can be sued
C: cannot be sued
D: both (a) & (b).

The answer is: B

Explanation

The correct option is:

B: can be sued

Explanation:

An illegal partnership refers to a partnership formed for an unlawful purpose or involving illegal activities. In such cases, the partnership itself may not have legal standing, and the partners may be liable to legal consequences. While an illegal partnership may not have the same legal rights and protections as a legal partnership, it can still be subject to legal actions, including being sued.

Option A (can sue) is not correct because an illegal partnership typically cannot enforce legal rights through the court system due to its illegal nature. However, option B (can be sued) is accurate as the partners in an illegal partnership may be held accountable and can be subject to legal actions brought against them by other parties.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B: can be sued.
