Why C is correct
Under G.S. 58-33-130(c), failing to complete continuing education causes the producer's license to lapse, unless the Commissioner (or administrator) grants an extension for good cause and/or charges a $75 administrative fee in lieu of lapse. Waivers are limited to military service or long-term physician-certified medical disability under 11 NCAC 6A .0802(i), so ordinary missed deadlines are addressed only by extension or the fee.
Why the other options are wrong
- A is wrong because the statutory sanction is lapse, not revocation, and no retesting is required to cure CE noncompliance.
- B is wrong because the $100 to $1,000 civil penalty range under G.S. 58-2-70(d) is a general enforcement tool, not the prescribed remedy for missed CE hours.
- D is wrong because there is no automatic 60-day extension; relief requires the Commissioner's action for good cause or the $75 fee.
Memory hook
Miss CE and the license lapses - good cause or $75 stands between you and lapse.
