Answer: (C)

Onboarding is the process of bringing a merchant onto a platform so they can start participating in its payments ecosystem. In Stripe Connect, this means setting up the merchant with a connected account that's tied to the platform account and collecting the necessary information to verify identity, business details, tax information, and banking details for payouts. This setup enables the platform to manage transactions, ensure compliance, and route funds to the merchant. That’s why the best answer describes the process of setting up a merchant on a platform and creating a connected account. The other options relate to activities outside this integration flow—customers joining, launching a marketing campaign, or configuring tax rules for a marketplace.
