Correct answer

Consult the state alcohol authority's guidance or legal resources before acting

  1. A Ask a customer
  2. B Ignore the regulation
  3. C Guess
  4. D Consult the state alcohol authority's guidance or legal resources before acting

Why this is the answer

If a manager is uncertain about a specific alcohol regulation — such as permitted hours, signage requirements, or rules about minors — the best step is to consult authoritative sources, such as the state alcohol authority's published guidance or appropriate legal resources, before acting. Guessing risks a violation that could jeopardize the license. Because alcohol laws are detailed and vary by jurisdiction and can change, verifying the current rule is the responsible approach. Managers model good compliance behavior by checking authoritative sources rather than relying on assumptions or outdated information.
