Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why C is correct
Under 11 NCAC 6A .0802(a) and G.S. 58-33-130(d), each licensee must complete 24 ICECs per biennial compliance period, a 24-month cycle. The total includes the mandatory ethics hours required every period.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Fifteen credit hours is another jurisdiction's requirement, not North Carolina's.
- B) Twenty hours was the former prelicensing education figure, repealed in 2025; it was never the continuing education total.
- D) Twelve credit hours is the preexisting-condition exclusion cap expressed in months, not a continuing education total.
