Correct answer

A shared responsibility that managers must actively lead and oversee

  1. A Solely the servers' problem
  2. B Only checked once a year
  3. C A shared responsibility that managers must actively lead and oversee
  4. D Not important

Why this is the answer

Ultimately, compliance with alcohol laws is a shared responsibility that managers must actively lead and oversee. While individual servers carry personal responsibility for their sales, managers set policies, train and supervise staff, maintain licenses and records, and shape the establishment's culture — all of which determine whether the business operates lawfully. Treating compliance as 'the servers' problem' or a once-a-year concern invites violations. Effective managers make responsible service an everyday, top-down priority, recognizing that the license and the safety of patrons and the public depend on consistent, well-led compliance.
