Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
Only the persons described in Selections I, II, and III would not have to register as an investment adviser or an investment adviser representative under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Whole life and term life policies, commodity futures, and FDIC-insured bank products are excluded from the definition of a security, and those persons selling these products need not register. Therefore, the insurance agent, the commodity futures broker, and the bank employee who sells only FDIC-insured bank securities need not register. Even if a person is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC, if that entity also provides investment advice to its customers for additional compensation, it must register as an investment adviser.
