Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices

Incorrect because brokers are responsible not just for their own transactions but for all activities conducted by licensees under their supervision. This limitation would create significant gaps in consumer protection and regulatory oversight.

Only new licensees
Incorrect because broker responsibility extends to all licensees, not just new ones. Experienced licensees remain under the broker's supervision, and the broker is accountable for their actions regardless of tenure.

Incorrect because broker responsibility applies to all transaction types, including residential, commercial, and rental properties. Limiting responsibility to commercial transactions would leave significant areas of practice unregulated.
