Suggested Answer:A🗳️
If Ms. Scatty forgets to give her buyer a prospectus when selling one of the funds, she can be held civilly liable under the Securities Act of 1933. Unless there was an intent to defraud, she is not subject to criminal penalties. The purchase and sale of mutual fund shares fall under the Securities Act of 1933.
