Why the other options are wrong
- B. 72 hours of pre-licensing education is required to *obtain* the license, not for renewal.
- C. 28 hours is the education requirement for reactivating an involuntarily inactive license, not for a first renewal.
- D. 14 hours of continuing education is for subsequent renewals, not the first.
