Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why B is correct
Under ORC 3905.16, surrender of a license — like revocation, suspension, cancellation, or inactivation — makes all of the producer's appointments void. If she later returns to the business, the insurers must file new appointments; none of the old ones survive the surrender.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Appointments do not linger for 1 year; ORC 3905.16 voids them upon surrender.
- C) Inactive status is a separate application the producer makes; surrender does not automatically convert appointments into any protected status.
- D) The appointments do not wait for insurers to file termination notices; surrender itself ends them under ORC 3905.16.

License goes, appointments go.
