Explanation
Why A — Deny, suspend, or revoke the registration
Under USA Section 204, the Administrator has broad authority to deny, suspend, revoke, cancel, or withdraw the registration of a broker-dealer, agent, investment adviser, or investment adviser representative. This authority extends to all registration categories, not just criminal matters. The exam trick is the framing, not the underlying Uniform Securities Act rule.
