          The correct answer is B. 

          GIPS are ethical standards for investment performance presentation to ensure fair representation and full disclosure of investment performance. In order to claim compliance, firms must adhere to the requirements included in the GIPS standards.

          A firm must produce 5 years of compliant performance history when it initially claims compliance. After this, the firm must add years of performance up to a minimum of 10 years of compliant performance history.
