Afederally covered investment adviser (ia) instructs its investment adviser representatives (iars) to add the initials "ria" (registered investment adviser) after their names on their business cards.

[C] This is prohibited by the SEC because the use of "RIA" implies that the IAR is competent

[D] This is prohibited by the SEC because "RIA" may be confused with "IAR."

The federally covered investment adviser (IA) must not instruct  its investment adviser representatives (IARs) to add the initials "RIA" (registered investment adviser) after their names on their business cards.
