Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Sam has the legitimate option of filing an appeal of the decision in a court of law within 60 days. He will not be able to register as an investment adviser with the SEC or with another state. His application will be denied when it is discovered that Sam has had his license revoked by one state.

I remember something about appealing decisions, but I'm not sure if it's with the attorney general or in court.
