Explanation

Why B — An IAR representing two unaffiliated advisers simultaneously

Dual registration with two unaffiliated firms always requires Administrator approval (USA §401(b)). A is not dual registration for IAR status, C is outside IAR activities, and D is within the same entity so does not count.
