Form S-4? More like Form S-MERGER, am I right?

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.

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