C. State and local governments

Explanation:

Securities are commercial debts or equity instruments sold to investors in the financial markets. Public-listed corporations or the government may issue securities as a way of raising capital. The Securities Act of 1933 requires securities registered with the SEC and abide by the other provisions in the act, such as full disclosure of financial information.

However, not all securities issued must be registered with the SEC. Exemptions are granted to certain types of securities. Financial instruments issued by or having government backing are considered to have the exception status.
