Suggested Answer:C🗳️
The true statement is C: Investment advisers are required either to be registered with a state or with the SEC, but broker-dealers must be registered with both the SEC and the state. Investment advisers who are federal covered do not need to be registered with the state as well, but they do have to execute a notice filing with the Administrator of any state in which they have an office.
