Why B is correct
Under Va. Code § 38.2-1866, a Virginia producer licensed for two or more types of insurance must complete 24 hours of continuing education per 2-year period, and at least 8 of those hours must be earned in each category. The higher total and the category floors ensure that a multi-line producer keeps current in every line he or she is licensed to sell. A producer who concentrates all hours in one category falls short of the requirement even if the 24-hour total is reached.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 16 hours is the single-type total under Va. Code § 38.2-1866; two license types raise the requirement to 24 hours with category minimums.
- C) The 24-hour total alone is not enough; Va. Code § 38.2-1866 adds a floor of at least 8 hours in each category.
- D) Both figures are wrong for a two-type licensee: the total rises to 24 hours, not 16.

Two types, 24 hours, 8 in each — spread the study across your lines.
