Explanation:

• Option A (Incorrect): According to Standard IV(A) - Loyalty, members must act for the benefit of their employer and not deprive the employer of their skills or divulge confidential information. Emailing a list of clients when leaving the employer constitutes misappropriation of client lists, which is prohibited.

• Option B (Incorrect): While Standard IV(A) does not outright prohibit members from engaging in independent competitive activities while employed, it requires them to notify their employer and obtain consent for such activities. Without employer consent, this action would violate the standard.

• Option C (Correct): Standard IV(A) does not prohibit former employees from contacting clients of their previous firm, provided the contact information is obtained from public sources and does not violate any non-compete agreements. Members are free to use public information to solicit business after departing, as long as no specific agreement prohibits it.
