Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why C is correct
Under Florida licensing law administered by the Department of Financial Services, applicants must answer the application's background questions truthfully and disclose the requested criminal history. Because DFS runs fingerprint-based checks, omissions surface anyway, and false answers independently jeopardize licensure under Chapter 626, Florida Statutes.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) The application's background questions call for disclosure of criminal history regardless of grade of offense.
- B) Disclosure is not limited to pending felonies; the application's questions govern.
- D) Waiting for DFS to discover the record is a false statement strategy, not a lawful option.
Memory hook
Disclose it yourself before DFS finds it for you.
