  3. CYes, as long as the security is truly registered
  4. DNo, because only federal registration guarantees safety

Why BNo, because it misrepresents the effect of registration

Stating or implying that registration implies safety or endorsement is prohibited under USA Section 501. Registration does not guarantee safety (A, C), and federal registration also does not guarantee safety (D).
