Correct Answer

D) A salaried employee of a real estate brokerage who negotiates lease renewals on behalf of property owners for additional commission income

A salaried employee who also negotiates lease renewals and earns commission income for doing so is performing licensed real estate activities for compensation on behalf of others. This person is not exempt from the license requirement — they must hold a South Carolina real estate license. The fact that they also receive a salary does not create an exemption; the commission-based negotiation of leases for others requires a license.
