Why C is correct
Pennsylvania requires 24 hours of continuing education in each 2-year license cycle (40 P.S. § 310.8(b); 31 Pa. Code Ch. 39a), with compliance measured against the licensee's birth-month renewal date. A producer who fails to complete the requirement faces termination of the license. The 24-hour figure is the base; specialty components such as the ethics hours fit inside it rather than on top of it.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 12 hours is half the Pennsylvania requirement and does not match the state's rule.
- B) 30 hours overstates the base requirement; the cycle calls for 24 hours.
- D) 10 hours belongs to other measurement contexts, such as the standard free-look period, and is not the continuing education load.
Memory hook
24 in the two-year window — and ethics fits inside the 24.
