Why C is correct
The calling-hours window of 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. local time exists only in the federal Telemarketing Sales Rule at 16 CFR 310. Arizona's statute, A.R.S. 44-1282(B), attaches a $1,000 penalty per violation to do-not-call violations but contains no time-of-day restriction. A producer must therefore check the two regimes separately: federal law supplies the hours, and Arizona supplies the monetary penalty.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) reverses the sources and misstates the penalty; the hours rule is federal, and Arizona's penalty is $1,000, not $2,500.
- B) credits both rules to Arizona; the hours window is federal, and $5,000 per violation is the fraud civil penalty, not the do-not-call penalty.
- D) correctly states the state penalty but wrongly imports a 9 p.m. cutoff into state law, which contains no time-of-day limit.
Memory hook
Hours are federal, fines are Arizona.
