What fiduciary duties do partners owe to each other according to the material?

Partners owe mutual fiduciary duties of loyalty and care. Loyalty means putting the partnership’s interests first, avoiding conflicts of interest, not competing with the partnership, and disclosing opportunities or profits that belong to the partnership. Care means acting with the level of diligence and prudence a reasonably careful person would use, exercising competence and due oversight in partnership decisions. Together, these duties require partners to act in good faith and with regard for the partnership’s welfare. The other options fall short because they either omit one of the duties or deny that such duties exist.
