What does entering into a proposal during bankruptcy imply?

  1. Liquidating assets to pay debts.

  2. An offer is made to settle a debt.

  3. The company ceases operations immediately.

  4. All assets are surrendered to a trustee.

The correct answer is: An offer is made to settle a debt.

Entering into a proposal during bankruptcy does not necessarily mean that the company will cease operations immediately (C) or that all assets will be surrendered to a trustee (D). It also does not necessarily mean that the company will liquidate its assets to pay off debts (A). While these may be potential outcomes of entering into a proposal during bankruptcy, the primary implication is that the company is making an offer to settle its debt. This option (B) is the most likely implication of entering into a proposal during bankruptcy.
