Answer Options

- B) Technician, Technician Plus, General, Amateur Extra

- D) Technician, General, Amateur Extra
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The current structure of the Amateur Radio Service includes three active license classes that can be obtained by passing the corresponding exams. These are the entry-level Technician class, the intermediate General class, and the highest level, the Amateur Extra class.
Older license classes like Novice, Technician Plus, and Advanced are no longer issued by the FCC, although existing holders of those licenses are grandfathered and still retain their operating privileges.
