Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why D is correct
ORC 3905.481 requires each resident major-line licensee to complete at least 24 hours of approved continuing education in every biennial renewal period, of which at least 3 hours must be ethics. The CE must be finished before the renewal date, and licensees who fall short cannot renew on schedule, exposing the license to the late-renewal and suspension rules.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 20 hours is the prelicensing education requirement per major line, not the CE requirement.
- B) The 24-hour total is correct, but the 3-hour ethics component is mandatory, not optional.
- C) 15 hours is the viatical-settlement-broker-only CE figure; major-line producers need 24 hours.
Memory hook
24 by 3 — two dozen hours, three on ethics.
