Why A is correct
California requires agents and brokers who sell QHPs through Covered California to complete the exchange's training and certification and to enter into a Covered California agreement. Certified agents can assist consumers with enrollment, premium tax credits, and cost-sharing reductions. Certification is renewed periodically.

- C) Securities licensing is unrelated to selling exchange QHPs, which are health insurance products.
- D) Third-party administrator registration applies to entities administering plans, not to agents selling exchange coverage.
