问题如下：

Which of the following going public methods and closely related term is most likely correct?

选项：

A.

IPO; existing shareholder

B.

Direct listing; underwriter

C.

SPAC; “blank check”

解释：

C is correct. A SPAC is a shell company often called a “blank check” company because it exists solely for the purpose of acquiring an unspecified private company sometime in the future.

A and B are incorrect. An IPO is facilitated by investment banks that underwrite, or guarantee, the offering. A direct listing does not involve an underwriter, and no new capital is raised. Instead, the company is simply listed on an exchange, and shares are sold by existing shareholders.
