Answer:

d. a settlement is less costly than litigation.

Explanation:

Able Baker Co clearly did not consider the SEC securities regulations when it sold shares. Since they are at a disadvantage it will be better for them to settle than go through the litigation.

Settlements are quicker to resolve and less complicated than litigation. Legal fees during a drawn out court case and likelihood of paying judgement sum makes litigation more expensive.

Therefore it is cheaper for ABC to settle.
