  2. An exempt security is one that need not be registered in the state in which it is sold.
  3. An exempt security is any security being sold as a private placement.

Explanation
Answer: B - As defined by the Uniform Securities Act, an exempt security is one that need not be registered in the state in which it is sold. Selections A and D describe exempt transactions. Although securities issued by financial institutions, such as banks, are exempt securities, not all securities that a bank purchases and sells qualify as exempt securities. Private placements may also be exempt transactions, but there are other stipulations that must be met.
