- AA private mortgage company
- BThe government of Canada✓ Correct answer
- CA real estate investment trust (REIT)
- DA publicly traded corporation
Explanation
Why B — The government of Canada
Under USA Section 401, securities issued, insured, or guaranteed by the government of Canada or any Canadian province are exempt from state registration. This Canadian government securities exemption is a distinctive feature of the Uniform Securities Act and reflects close economic ties between the U.S. and Canada. State-law analysis leads to the same conclusion despite the alternate scenario.
