Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why D is correct
OAC 3901-5-09(A)(3) requires a completed license application to be submitted within 180 calendar days after the candidate passes the examination. For applicants in active military service, the clock runs for 180 days from return from deployment. Missing the window means the examination result can no longer support the application and the candidate must start the process over.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 30 days is the demographic-change reporting window, not the post-examination application deadline.
- B) 90 days is the early-renewal submission window, not the application deadline after passing.
- C) A full 12 months exceeds the 180-calendar-day limit; waiting that long forfeits the examination result.

Passed the exam? File within about half a year — 180 days.
