Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

One of the steps in the Know Your Client (KYC) rule is to assess the client's financial resources, which include their income, assets, liabilities, and net worth. Asking about pension plans at work is a relevant question to determine the client's sources of income and potential retirement savings. Pension plans can also affect the client's risk tolerance and investment objectives, as they may provide a stable and guaranteed income in the future. Asking about children, money needs, and investment experience are also important questions, but they relate to other aspects of the KYC rule, such as personal circumstances, time horizon, and investment knowledge.
