Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why B is correct
Pennsylvania's disciplinary framework under 40 P.S. § 310.91 is a process, not a snap judgment: the licensee receives notice of the charges and the opportunity for a hearing before the Pennsylvania Insurance Department imposes denial, nonrenewal, suspension, or revocation. The hearing stage is where evidence is tested and the licensee answers the allegations — the safeguard that makes the resulting order an adjudication.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) An examiner's personal determination is not the statutory mechanism; discipline issues through notice and hearing under 40 P.S. § 310.91.
- C) Appointing insurers have no consent role in the state's disciplinary decision.
- D) A complaint starts an inquiry, not a revocation; the department acts on established grounds after the hearing process.
Memory hook
Notice, then hearing, then order — the department cannot revoke in the dark.
