Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": I, II, III, IV.

Explanation:

Variable annuity is an insurance product that is directly exposed to investments, usually mutual funds or bonds or stocks. They provide investors with the security of an annuity combined with potential returns from different investments.

A variable annuity has to be licensed with the SEC, not with FINRA. A prospectus must be submitted and distributed to prospective investors as part of the registration requirements with full and fair disclosure following the anti-fraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1933. Distribution can occur before or during any sale order.
