Explanation

Why BHold only the broker-dealer responsible

While the broker-dealer may be held responsible, the Administrator is highly likely to investigate and hold the agents accountable as well (USA 412, 401(c)). B is the least likely to occur without also investigating the agents. A, C, and D are routine Administrator responses.
