If a corporation enters into a contract and a director has a conflict of interest in the transaction, the contract is voidable unless the director makes full disclosure of all of the facts to the disinterested directors or shareholders, who then approve the transaction, or the director can prove that the transaction was fair.

the correct answer to q8 is b. explanation since the mule app has a dependency, it is necessary to include project modules and dependencies to make sure the app will run successfully on the runtime on any other machine. source code of the component that the mule app is dependent of does not need to be included in the exported jar file, because the source code is not being used while executing an app. compiled code is being used instead.
