  1. License cancellationAnswer
  2. B
    License suspension
  3. C
    License revocation
  4. D
    Administrative probation

Answer

License cancellation is the legal administrative action taken when a license was issued due to fraud, incomplete documentation, or administrative error.
License cancellation is the specific procedure that voids a driver's license credential because it was obtained through fraudulent application data, false documents, or administrative error.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the cause of the administrative action in the scenario.
The issue involves a credential issued due to false application information or administrative error.
Different legal procedures apply depending on whether the issue involves misconduct, conviction, or improper issuance.
2
Distinguish between suspension, revocation, and cancellation.
Cancellation voids a license that should not have been issued, whereas suspension temporarily holds privileges and revocation terminates privileges following violations.
Statutory DMV guidelines strictly separate voiding invalid applications (cancellation) from punishing driving violations.
