    None are actually correct…
    A. Franchises require much more money that it would normally cost to open a similar business.
    B. You still pay your employees (the corporation may process payments but it still comes out of your profits and you pay them a fee for the accounting).
    C. Maybe, but you have to buy and use their products regardless if you can find them cheaper.
    D. You still have to advertise locally, they handle the nationwide advertising campaigns (which your franchise fees pay for).
