Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why B is correct
Under A.R.S. 20-285, a renewal may be filed up to ninety days before the license expires. Filing within that window lets the producer maintain continuous licensure instead of gambling on a late renewal and the fees that come with it.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Wrong because the advance filing window under A.R.S. 20-285 is ninety days, not thirty.
- C) Wrong because Arizona does not allow renewal filing six months ahead; the window opens ninety days before expiration.
- D) Wrong because A.R.S. 20-285 expressly permits renewal before expiration; waiting until the license has lapsed triggers the late-renewal regime instead.
Memory hook
Ninety days early is on time; do not wait for expiration.
