I’m a bit torn between options A and D. I know regulatory is important, but commercial filings might have some useful data too.

I practiced a similar question where we had to choose between organizational filings and regulatory records. I think regulatory is the better choice here.

I feel like commercial filings could also have some relevant info, but they might not be as comprehensive as regulatory records.

I think I remember that regulatory securities records are usually the go-to for financial statements, but I'm not entirely sure.
