Answer: C. The seller has a 10(b) claim against the buyer.

Explanation:

10(b) is a section within the Securities and Exchange Commission and are a common source of liability for public companies.

It makes it unlawful to use or employ in relation to the trading of shares or securities.

Over here the buyer made the statement that he was aware that the CEO informed the board via email of a patent sale by Wayport that meant that the corporation would receive net proceeds.

The buyer has unlawful means of source and therefore is thinking of buying additional shares. Buyer is violating the 10(b) section of the securities and exchange commission act.
