Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Buys the stock from the company and resells the issue to the public.

Explanation:

A "Firm Commitment" or "Bought Deal" is an agreement by which an underwriter assumes all responsibilities for the purchase of securities in an Initial Public Offering (IPO). The underwriter becomes the dealer of those securities and is fully responsible if some securities remain unsold.
