• A. CEUs
• B. Registration
• C. Certification
• D. Licensure

Answer: (B)

This item tests understanding of how different credential terms relate to a regulator’s duties. When a regulatory body administers exams and then maintains a roster of qualified personnel, the process described is registration. The key idea is being officially listed on an authorized registry managed by the regulator, which confirms that individuals have met the required standards to practice and are eligible to be on that list. Exams help determine who earns a place on the registry, and the registry itself is the maintained list.

Continuing education units are credits earned to keep credentials active, not the act of being listed. Certification is formal recognition from a certifying body that someone has met competency standards, which is distinct from simply being registered on a regulator’s roster. Licensure is the legal permission to practice, typically issued by government authorities and may involve the registry, but the scenario emphasizes the maintained list of qualified personnel, which aligns with registration.
