Answer: Impose limits on investment personnel acquiring securities in private placements and prohibit employees from receiving reimbursement for air transportation from corporate issuers.
**Correct Answer: A** According to Standard I(B) (Independence and Objectivity), members and candidates must exercise reasonable care and judgment to maintain independence and objectivity in their professional activities. - **Procedure 1 (Limits on private placements):** Firms should impose strict limits on investment personnel acquiring securities in private placements to prevent conflicts of interest. - **Procedure 2 (Restrict special cost arrangements):** Employees should pay for their own commercial transportation and hotel charges when attending meetings at an issuer's headquarters, avoiding reimbursements from corporate issuers to maintain objectivity. **Why not B or C?** - **B** is incorrect because while Procedure 1 is valid, Procedure 3 (removing a company from the restricted list) is not directly related to independence and objectivity. - **C** is incorrect because while Procedure 2 is valid, Procedure 3 is not a recommended procedure for this Standard.
