a.A general obligation bond issued by a municipality
b.A private placement sold to 40 non-institutional buyers
c.An unsolicited transaction by an existing customer
d.A sale to an insurance company
Explanation

The other choices describe exempt TRANSACTIONS, which relate to how or to whom a security is sold rather than the security itself. Distinguishing exempt securities from exempt transactions is a core Series 66 concept.
