Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
An LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) limits the personal liability of the partners and allows the partnership to continue as a pass-through tax entity, meaning the partnership itself is not taxed on its income. Instead, the income is passed through to the partners who report it on their personal tax returns. This is a key feature of LLPs. The other options are incorrect because LLP statutes do vary from state to state, LLPs can do business in multiple states, and many states have enacted LLP statutes.
