B)   he is a beneficiary of a pension plan of his former employer that owns a large number of shares of Burch's stock.

C)   Offshore is an OTC market maker for Burch Corporation's stock.

Correct answer is C)

Standard VI(A), Disclosure of Conflicts, requires members to disclose to their employer all matters, including beneficial ownership of securities, that reasonably could be expected to interfere with their duty to their employer or ability to make unbiased and objective recommendations. Disclosure of an employer's own involvement with the security is not necessary in this instance. If the report had been for external use, it would have been necessary to make all of the disclosures given as choices.
