Explanation

Google acquired YouTube in October 2006 for $1.65 billion in an all-stock transaction, not cash. The deal was entirely paid for using Google stock, making option C correct. Option A (fact) is wrong because it wasn't cash, option B (fiction) is wrong because the acquisition did happen, and option D is wrong because it wasn't a cash-and-stock combination - it was 100% stock.
