Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why B is correct
Under G.S. 58-33-130(c), failing to complete continuing education causes the license to lapse, but the Commissioner may grant an extension for good cause and/or charge a $75 administrative fee in lieu of lapse. Waivers are limited to military service or long-term physician-certified medical disability.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) The sanction is lapse, not permanent revocation, and relief through an extension or the administrative fee is available.
- C) There is no automatic grace period for missed continuing education.
- D) Continuing education failures do not require reexamination; the license simply lapses absent relief.
Memory hook
Miss CE, license lapses - unless good cause or 75 dollars saves it.
