[Vazrick Nazari]

Al is right and I completely agree with him. Indeed it is best to consult the code first ;)

This exchange demonstrates why the most reliable way to answer such
questions is to check the Code itself, which is free online at:

http://www.iczn.org/iczn/index.jsp

See Art. 51.3:  Parentheses are to be used ONLY to indicate changed
generic combinations, not changes in status!  So your original choice
a) is correct.

Happy holidays,
