Which of the following best describes when a person may serve as the qualifying individual for a contractor license?

Explanation

§7068(a) requires the board to make an applicant show the degree of knowledge and experience in the classification applied for, plus general knowledge of the building, safety, health and lien laws and of the administrative principles of the contracting business. §7065(a) is where the registrar tests that by written examination, and 16 CCR §825 supplies the four years of journey-level experience within the preceding ten. §7068(b) says who may appear to qualify — the individual owner, a general partner, a responsible managing officer, manager or member, or a responsible managing employee — and §7068(c) adds that a responsible managing employee must be permanently employed and actively engaged, meaning 32 hours a week or 80 percent of the hours the business operates, whichever is less. Age, personal financing and prior business ownership appear nowhere in any of it, which is what makes (a), (c) and (d) wrong.
