The answer is: D) a, b, and c

Explanation:

Significant financial interest (SFI) is anything of monetary value, whether that value can be determined or not, that belongs to: an investigator, the investigator's spouse, or any dependent children.

When an investigator receives funding from the NIH it must complete a Declaration Form including all the SFI acquired or discovered in the past year.

Even if the stock worth only $1, it still has monetary value. The same for the $4000 paid to him for consulting work and the royalties worth $10,000.
