Why This Is the Correct Answer

Chapter 489 ties business organization contracting authority to the certified or registered qualifying agent and related affiliation duties.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: sales-tax resale issue

sales-tax resale issue belongs to a different file or record trail; it does not prove the qualifying agent status event.
