  1. AHas no place of business in the state and no clients there
  2. BHas more than five individual clients in the state during the past 12 months✓ Correct answer
  3. COnly advises investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940
  4. DDoes not solicit business in the state
Explanation

Why BHas more than five individual clients in the state during the past 12 months

If a federal covered adviser has a place of business or more than five individual clients in a state, it typically must notice file there (USA Sec. 405). C is incorrect because advising registered investment companies may exempt from notice filing, and A and D describe scenarios not requiring notice filing.
