Which statement about certification acceptance is true?

• A. BPS and BME are acceptable together
• B. Only BPS is acceptable
• C. Only BME is acceptable
• D. Neither BPS nor BME is acceptable

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is how a licensing board treats different certifications for meeting certification requirements. If the board lists multiple certifications as acceptable, then any one of them can satisfy the requirement, and having more than one is also fine. Here, the board accepts certifications from both BPS and BME, meaning either credential by itself meets the requirement (and holding both would also satisfy it). The other options would imply exclusivity or no acceptance, which contradicts the policy that recognizes both certifications. So the statement that BPS and BME are acceptable together accurately reflects the board’s stance.
