Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Google's IPO did occur in 2004, but the offering price was \$85 per share, not \$40. The stock opened at \$100 on the first day of trading. Therefore, option B (fiction) is correct because the \$40 figure is wrong. Option C's $400 claim is also incorrect.
