  1. Any act that violates the Code of Ethics
  2. Any act that violates the criminal laws of the United States
  3. Failure to respond to a request by the CFP Board staff

Explanation
Answer: D - While all financial planners should strive to meet goals agreed to with clients, failure to meet a goal is not in itself grounds for discipline. If the goal was not met due to a violation of the Code of Ethics, Rule of Conduct, Practice Standards, or another violation stated in the Disciplinary Rules and Procedures, then it is grounds for discipline.
