Answer 1

The correct response is:

James will need to register the business with his local state as the name of his business differs from his own.

In many jurisdictions, if a sole proprietor operates under a name that differs from their own (often referred to as a "doing business as" or DBA name), they typically need to register that name with the state or local government. While requirements may vary by state, it's common to register at the state level.
