    Answer: c. have a conflict of interest because the investment was suitable for the client.

    Explanation: A conflict of interest situation arises when an individual (the manager of a discretionary account in this instance) has competing interests or loyalties because of their duties to more than one person or organization and serving one interest could adversely affect a duty owed to make decisions for the benefit of a third party (the client). The manager did not have a conflict of interest because the investment was suitable for the client. However, a manager who knowingly places clients funds in an investment which are not in their best interests, but which earn the manager a bigger commission, would be guilty of conflict of interest.
