  1. ASix months after the effective date
  2. BOn the anniversary of the effective date
  3. COnly when the Administrator orders expiration
  4. DOn December 31 of each year unless renewed✓ Correct answer
Explanation

Why DOn December 31 of each year unless renewed

Under USA Section 202(c), broker-dealer registrations expire on December 31 of each year unless renewed. The annual renewal requirement allows the Administrator to maintain current records and ensures continued compliance with state securities laws. The extra setup is just noise; the controlling state-law rule stays the same.
