C. If instead of Ash Co making the 10% stock purchase, Ash Co caused its wholly owned subsidiary to make that purchase, the subsequent acquisition would satisfy the solely-for-stock requirement under B reorganization. 

D. The prior purchase of the 10% stock may be sold to an unrelated party, and the subsequent acquisition of Tiny Co may still satisfy the solely-for-stock requirement under B reorganization.
