I definitely practiced a question about Form S-4 before, and it was related to mergers, so I’m leaning towards that one.

Okay, let me think this through. The question is asking about registering shares for business combinations, so I'm guessing the answer is either Form S-3 or Form S-4. I'll have to double-check the details on each of those.

D, Form S-8? Really? That's for employee stock plans, not business combinations. I think I need to re-read the Securities Act chapter again.
