I think B is definitely not a valid reason. Just because the beneficiary is doing well with investments doesn't mean they should take over the trust.

I practiced a similar question where beneficiary conflicts were a reason for removal, so C feels like it could be valid too.

Hmm, the beneficiary not getting along with the corporate trustee seems like a pretty common reason for removal. I'm leaning towards that being the exception, but I'll double-check the other options just to be sure.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem pretty similar, so I'll need to reread the question and really focus on the key differences between them.

Okay, the key here is identifying the main disadvantage. I think option C captures that well - the high level of dependency on the service integrator adds risks to continuity. That seems like the most significant downside.

I'm going with D. The beneficiary moving to a distant state shouldn't be a valid reason to remove the trustee. The trustee's location doesn't really affect their ability to manage the trust.
