Solution
The term for when a partner acts outside the scope of the partnership's authority is known as d. Ultra vires act.
"Ultra vires" is a Latin phrase meaning "beyond the powers". In the context of a partnership, if a partner acts beyond the powers granted to them under the partnership agreement, they are said to be acting ultra vires. This could potentially expose the partnership to liability if the act results in harm or loss to another party.
