Answer

To secure a spot in the program, a participant must pay a $200 deposit that cannot be refunded.
The flyer states that a non-refundable deposit of $200 is required at the time of registration to secure your spot. This matches the correct option exactly.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Locate the part of the text discussing how to secure a spot in the program.
The text states: 'A non-refundable deposit of $200 is required at the time of registration to secure your spot.'
This establishes the exact condition needed to secure a spot.
2
Locate the rules governing the early registration discount and other financial aspects.
The text states: 'Register by October 15, 2025, to receive a 15% discount... The discount cannot be combined with other offers... The remaining balance must be paid in full by November 30, 2025.'
This allows evaluation of the incorrect choices regarding discount combinations, deadlines, and pricing calculations.
3
Compare the details found in the text with the options provided.
The statement about the non-refundable $200 deposit is directly supported, while other options contradict the discount rules, deadlines, or pricing.
This identifies the single correct option.
