C, definitely C. I remember learning this in my securities law class. Form S-4 is the way to go for those merger deals.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and C. Form S-3 is for seasoned issuers, but Form S-4 does sound like the one for business combinations.

I'm pretty sure it's Form S-4. That's the one for mergers and acquisitions, right?
