Who is listed as managing and supervising the branch office for the licensee's qualified manager?

• A. The licensee
• B. The designated branch office manager
• C. A branch office supervisor
• D. The security officer

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that each licensed branch must have a specific person named to run and supervise it. This role, the designated branch office manager, is the individual listed by the licensee’s qualified manager as responsible for day-to-day operations at that branch. They oversee staff, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, and handle branch-specific duties. The licensee remains the overall license holder, but the branch’s supervision is assigned to this designated person.

Other titles don’t fit because they aren’t the formal, required designation for supervising a branch under the license. A generic “branch office supervisor” isn’t the official designation used in the licensing framework, and a security officer is not the role responsible for supervising the branch’s alarm-related activities.
