If a broker's license is suspended for violating license law, the licenses of her salespeople are

• A. Still valid
• B. Unaffected
• C. Not valid
• D. Automatically renewed

Answer: (C)

When a broker’s license is suspended, the licenses tied to that broker—those of the salespeople—are not valid for real estate practice. Salespeople operate under the supervision and sponsorship of an active, licensed broker; without that active broker, they cannot legally transact. To regain the ability to practice, they would need to affiliate with another broker who holds a valid license or wait for the suspension to be resolved. The other options imply continued validity, no impact, or automatic renewal, which aren’t compatible with a broker’s suspension ending the supervisory relationship and authority.
