Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe the regulations allow covered entities to use PHI for marketing purposes as long as they don't get paid for it. This is like a marketing loophole, right?

Option D seems to be the false statement. The authorization must state if the marketing is expected to result in remuneration to the covered entity.

I think option C is the correct answer. The regulations do allow covered entities to provide promotional gifts of nominal value without an authorization.
