I’m a bit confused about option C; I thought brokers could trade without prior approval if it was in the client's best interest. Is that a violation?

I feel like I’ve seen a question similar to this before, and I think it was about how brokers need to consider the client's financial situation. That makes me lean towards B as well.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about suitability violations being linked to the client's risk tolerance. Maybe that's why B is the best choice?

Clean data is definitely the most important factor here. If the underlying data isn't accurate and reliable, then the whole BI system is going to be useless. I'd make sure to emphasize that in my answer.

I'm going with Option D. When a broker makes trades just to rack up commissions, that's a clear violation of the suitability rules. Gotta keep the brokers honest, you know?
