  4. D

Cevap

The corporation must designate at least one licensed individual producer to be responsible for the entity's compliance with state insurance laws.
Under the uniform licensing standards adopted by most states, a business entity (such as a corporation or partnership) acting as an insurance producer is required to designate at least one licensed individual producer to be responsible for the business entity's compliance with the insurance laws, rules, and regulations of the state. This individual is commonly referred to as the Designated Responsible Licensed Producer (DRLP).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the specific type of license being requested in the scenario.
The scenario asks for the statutory requirements to obtain a business entity producer license for a corporation.
Different license types (individual, business entity, insurer) have distinct legal prerequisites.
2
Recall the NAIC Producer Licensing Model Act requirements for business entities.
A business entity must pay the applicable fees, submit the proper uniform application, and designate a licensed individual producer to be responsible for the entity's compliance.
Because a corporation is a legal fiction and cannot take an exam or monitor its own compliance, it must act through a designated human agent.
3
Evaluate the options against known exemptions and requirements.
Option C correctly identifies the Designated Responsible Licensed Producer requirement. Options A, B, and D describe fabricated requirements or confuse agency licensing with insurer licensing.
Eliminating false requirements ensures the selection is based strictly on statutory law rather than assumed industry practices.
