Correct answer

Valid, current, and available/displayed as required, with the manager ensuring it stays in good standing

A Optional
B Valid, current, and available/displayed as required, with the manager ensuring it stays in good standing
C Shared between businesses
D Kept hidden

Why this is the answer

The establishment's alcohol license must be valid and current, displayed or available as required by the jurisdiction, and kept in good standing — and the manager is typically responsible for ensuring this. Operating with an expired, suspended, or improperly maintained license is a serious violation that can halt alcohol sales. Managers should track renewal deadlines, comply with all license conditions, and address any issues promptly. Treating the license as the foundational requirement it is — and protecting it through consistent compliance — is central to a manager's responsibilities.
