Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why C is correct
ORC 3905.16 provides that upon revocation, suspension, surrender, cancellation, or inactivation of a license, all appointments the licensee held become void. Appointments exist only as attachments to an active license, so the loss of the license automatically strips the producer of authority to represent every appointed insurer — no insurer-by-insurer action is needed.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Appointments do not linger awaiting individual cancellation; they become void automatically when the license is revoked.
- B) There is no one-year inactive-status conversion for the appointments of a revoked license.
- D) A renewal period end date does not preserve appointments; revocation of the license voids them immediately.
Memory hook
License gone, appointments gone — revocation voids them all at once.
