IB Internship Behavioral Interview Question

Hoping to gather thoughts on this question.

My thought processes here is that they are asking to see something so out there and outrageous that can be explained fluidly with logic. However, Im realistic in the sense that no stock could make the company an absurd sum amount of money in short amount of time while already being bankrupt. Disagreement encouraged, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Q:

Given the current financial situation in the United States, if ******** is currently making a net financial loss, meaning that the total expenses exceeded the total revenues in the past accounting year, and the company is about to go bankrupt. Now, the only feasible solution seems to be playing a gamble game in the US stock market. Under this circumstance, which particular stock would you suggest the company invest in and why?
