Explanation
Why A — The offer-stage conduct can violate Section 101, and a willful violation can support criminal prosecution even without a completed sale
Section 101 applies in connection with an offer, sale, or purchase. A completed sale is not required for an offer-stage antifraud violation or for criminal prosecution of a willful violation, although the buyer remedy in Section 410 requires a purchase.
