  3. CIt is not misleading if the fund is registered federally
  4. DIt is acceptable if the fund filed for registration in State E previously
Explanation

Why AIt is misleading because mutual funds are not registered at the state level

Implying state registration or review is misleading; mutual funds are federal covered securities and not subject to state merits review or registration (USA Sec 18(b)). Notice filing does not equal registration.
