If the shares don't sell, maybe the company can just give them away as party favors at the next corporate retreat. That's a great use of treasury stock, right?

I'm going to go with C. The unsold shares get transferred to treasury stock. It's the only answer that really makes sense to me.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. Maybe B? Listing the unsold shares in the over-the-counter market could be an option. Though I'm probably just guessing here.

D sounds good to me. The members of the syndicate should own the shares that didn't sell. They're the ones who took on the risk, after all.

I'm not sure about this one, but it makes sense that unsold shares would be returned to the issuing corporation. So, I'll go with A) as well.

I agree with Ronald, because in a firm commitment offering, the underwriter agrees to buy all the shares, so any unsold shares would go back to the issuing corporation.
