- BA firm with no office in the state that deals exclusively with insurance companies in that state✓ Correct answer
- CA firm that advertises its services to the general public in the state
- DA firm that employs 50 agents in the state
Explanation
Why B — A firm with no office in the state that deals exclusively with insurance companies in that state
Under USA Section 401(c), a broker-dealer with no office in a state that transacts business exclusively with institutional investors such as insurance companies is exempt from registration in that state. Firms with offices, agents, or retail clients in a state are generally required to register. This version tests the same concept with a different fact pattern wrapper.
