Why B is correct
Under A.R.S. 20-286, a temporary license may be issued for not more than one hundred eighty days and does not require an examination. The short runway is meant to bridge the transition — here, after the producer's death — while the agency arranges permanent licensed staffing.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Wrong because the statutory ceiling under A.R.S. 20-286 is one hundred eighty days, not ninety.
- C) Wrong because a temporary license is a short bridge measured in days, not a four-year term like a regular renewal under A.R.S. 20-285.
- D) Wrong because twelve months overstates the maximum; A.R.S. 20-286 caps the temporary license at one hundred eighty days.
Memory hook
Temporary means one-eighty — half a year, no exam.
