Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A member is not personally liable for a nonprofit corporation's acts or liabilities merely by being a member.However,a court may pierce the veil of a nonprofit corporation if it is used to defraud creditors,circumvent a statute,or evade an existing obligation,the same grounds on which a for-profit corporation's veil may be pierced.
