Answer 1

Answer: [B] The request and the name and address of the IA should be noted on the new account form

Explanation:

The request and name of the IA should be in the form because it would formalize the request to avoid any misunderstanding moving forward.

If the requirement is in the Account form, it can be executed more efficiently and effectively to the best interest of the client.
