  2. BIt is always prohibited.
  3. CIt is allowed as long as both firms consent, regardless of the Administrator's stance.
  4. DIt is permitted as long as the firms are not in direct competition.
Explanation

Why AIt is only permitted with the Administrator’s approval.

The USA allows dual registration for IARs only if the Administrator specifically approves it. Firm consent alone is not sufficient (USA §401(b)). Options B, C, and D misstate the requirements.
