- ABonding is always required for all broker-dealers and agents.
- BBonding is required if the broker-dealer or agent has custody or discretionary authority unless they meet minimum net capital/net worth requirements.✓ Correct answer

- DBonding is never required if the firm is registered with the SEC.
Explanation
Why B — Bonding is required if the broker-dealer or agent has custody or discretionary authority unless they meet minimum net capital/net worth requirements.
Bonding is required if the BD or agent has custody/discretion, unless exempted by meeting net capital/net worth minimums (USA Section 406(g)). A and C are overbroad or incorrect. D is false as SEC registration does not override bonding.
