Why C is correct
T.C.A. § 56-6-112(g)(1)–(3) sets the civil-penalty scheme for licensing violations at up to $1,000 per violation, with an aggregate cap of $100,000. The per-violation amount can accumulate — each day of continued violation is a separate violation — but the total penalties for the violations may not exceed the $100,000 aggregate ceiling.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) $1,000 is the per-violation maximum, not the aggregate cap on all penalties.
- B) $300,000 is a guaranty-association limit, unrelated to the penalty scheme of T.C.A. § 56-6-112(g).
- D) $250,000 is the annuity guaranty-association cap, not the aggregate civil-penalty ceiling.
Memory hook
A thousand per violation, a hundred grand the total — that is the Tennessee cap.
