Which term refers to a person who creates or runs their own business?

• A. Entrepreneur
• B. Community College
• C. Dual Credit Courses
• D. Elective Courses

Answer: (A)

An entrepreneur is a person who creates and runs their own business, taking on the risks and responsibilities that come with building a venture from the ground up. This term captures the initiative to identify a market need, develop a plan, gather resources, and manage operations to bring a product or service to life. For example, someone who starts a cafe, launches a tech startup, or opens a consulting firm is acting as an entrepreneur.

The other terms describe things, not people or the act of starting a business. A community college is a higher education institution; dual credit courses are classes that let high school students earn college credit; elective courses are optional classes a student can choose.
