To determine why Cristian's business is likely not considered "small" by the Better Business Bureau, let's go through the options.
A. The statement that a small business must have three owners is false. The number of owners does not determine the classification of a small business.
B. This option states that a small business employs no more than 25 people. Since Cristian's business employs 2,500 people, it exceeds this limit. Therefore, this option is a likely reason why Cristian's business is not considered "small" by the Better Business Bureau.
C. This option states that a small business is limited in size, often employing less than 500 people. Cristian's business exceeds this employment limit, so this option is another plausible reason for the denial.
D. The statement in this option is not true. Small businesses can register with the Better Business Bureau, which makes this option incorrect.
Based on the analysis, the most likely reason why Cristian's business is not considered "small" by the Better Business Bureau is that it employs more than 25 people. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
