- DWaives its right to a hearing before the Administrator
Explanation
Why A — Appoints the Administrator as its agent for receiving legal documents in noncriminal proceedings
Under USA Section 414, every applicant must file a consent to service of process, which appoints the Administrator as the applicant's attorney to receive service of any lawful process in noncriminal suits, actions, or proceedings. This ensures the state can serve legal papers on out-of-state firms through the Administrator. This version tests the same concept with a different fact pattern wrapper.
