H&M (Hennes & Mauritz AB) is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, where it was founded in 1947. While Gothenburg is also a major Swedish city, it is not the corporate headquarters. Operan is an area/venue in Stockholm but not the headquarters location. This tests corporate geography knowledge.

H&M's first store, opened in 1947 by Erling Persson in Västerås, Sweden, was called 'Hennes' (Swedish for 'hers'). It exclusively sold women's clothing. The company later expanded to include men's clothing through the acquisition of Mauritz Widforss, eventually becoming Hennes & Mauritz (H&M). This tests knowledge of brand history.

H&M owns multiple brands including Cheap Monday, WEEKDAY, and COS. Since all three listed brands (A, B, C) are indeed owned by H&M, 'All of the above' (D) is the correct answer. H&M Group has a portfolio of brands beyond just the main H&M line.
