You're welcome.

To determine which statement is true, let's analyze each statement based on the given information.

A. "An entrepreneur is a person who lends money to someone else to start a business."

This statement implies that the definition of an entrepreneur is someone who provides financial support to another person to initiate a business. However, the generally accepted definition of an entrepreneur is an individual who organizes and operates a business, taking on financial risks in the hopes of making a profit. Therefore, statement A does not accurately describe what an entrepreneur is, making it false.

D. "None is true."

If none of the statements are true, then it means that both A and B are false. To determine if this option is correct, we need to assess statement B.

B. "Most Americans are entrepreneurs."

This statement suggests that a significant portion of the American population are entrepreneurs. Despite the fact that entrepreneurship is prevalent in many countries, it is unlikely that most Americans are entrepreneurs. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, only about 10% of the total U.S. population is engaged in entrepreneurial activities. Therefore, statement B is also incorrect.

By analyzing the options, we can conclude that statement D ("None is true") is the correct answer because both A and B are false statements.
