- CStock in a foreign private company
- DShares in a limited partnership investing in real estate
Explanation
Why B — A bond issued by the City of Chicago
Under USA Section 401, securities issued by any state, political subdivision, or municipality of the United States are exempt from registration. Municipal bonds such as those issued by the City of Chicago fall squarely within this exemption because they are backed by a governmental entity. The extra setup is just noise; the controlling state-law rule stays the same.
