Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Industry sponsorship of the speakers in medical education is acceptable as long as there is no expectation of the company controlling or influencing the content of the presentation.

Speakers have a mandatory responsibility to disclose all financial participation with industry. This allows the audience to judge for itself whether there is undue influence from industry altering the content of the talk in favor of a particular product. There is no requirement to donate all speakers' fees to charity. There is no requirement for prior review of a presentation to an independent monitoring board for content.
