With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". supra, 150 Md.App. at 499, 822 A.2d 478 (“A corporation is a legal entity separate from its shareholders.”) (citation omitted). The petition for judicial review was filed by Gosain and Chaudhry in their individual names; neither Sona Auto Care, Inc., nor MNA LLC was identified as a plaintiff in the petition for judicial review. See id. at 503, 822 A.2d 478 (even though corporation had taxpayer standing, its stockholders could not assert taxpayer standing based upon their ownership interest in the corporation). Gosain and Chaudhry therefore did not meet their burden to show, by a preponderance of the evidence, that either one of them had standing. See, e.g., Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services (TOC), Inc., 528 U.S. 167, 198, 120 S.Ct. 693, 145 L.Ed.2d 610 (2000) (<HOLDING>) (citations omitted); Comm. for Responsible

A: recognizing that the burden of persuasion for a showing of prejudice was on the defendant
B: holding that the plaintiffs have the burden of proof and persuasion as to the existence of standing
C: holding that plaintiff bears burden of production as well as persuasion
D: holding that the burden of persuasion by a preponderance of the evidence remains with the movant
B.
