答案：B

【解析】Standard III(C) Suitability requires that before taking investment action, members and candidates must make a reasonable inquiry into a client's or prospect's investment objectives and constraints as well as their prior investment experience.Byrne cannot assume that because the brothers have similar lifestyles and are close in age that they should have similarly managed portfolios.Byrne should have interviewed Cliff directly before investing his portfolio.
