Which of the following is NOT a typical feature of a public corporation?

• A. State-owned
• B. Provide public service
• C. Incorporated
• D. Rapidly changing ownership

Answer: (D)

The key idea is what kinds of traits a public corporation typically has. A public corporation is a government-owned body created to deliver a public service and set up as a separate legal entity (incorporated). Because it is owned by the state and operates to serve the public, ownership tends to be stable and guided by government policy, not by frequent transfers or market trading. Rapidly changing ownership would undermine accountability, long‑term planning, and consistent public service, so it isn’t a typical feature. The other traits—being state-owned, providing a public service, and being incorporated—are standard characteristics of public corporations.
