Which corporate officer serves on the board of directors?

• A. Inside Director
• B. Outside Director
• C. Independent Director
• D. Nonexecutive Director

Answer: (A)

Inside directors are corporate officers who sit on the board, bringing management perspective to board decisions because they are part of the company's executive team. The question asks for the corporate officer who serves on the board, so this role fits exactly. Outside directors, independent directors, and nonexecutive directors are typically not corporate officers; they come from outside management and do not hold executive roles within the company. Therefore, the option describing a corporate officer who serves on the board is the best choice.
