B. A member who trades securities in a foreign securities market where no applicable local laws or stock exchange rules regulate the use of material nonpublic information may take investment action based on this information.
C. In the absence of specific applicable law or other regulatory requirements, the Code and Standards govern the member’s actions.
参考答案：C
解析：
The Code and Standards represent a minimum level of guidance for members’ actions, not a maximum level. The key to remember here is that whether the local area does or does not have standards governing member’s actions, one must follow the stricter standard environment.
