- CTime and price discretion may be exercised for that day only✓ Correct answer

Explanation
Why C — Time and price discretion may be exercised for that day only
Discretionary activity is heavily supervised because it gives the representative authority to act without obtaining contemporaneous consent for every trade detail. FINRA rules allow limited same-day time and price discretion, but broader trading discretion requires proper written authorization and supervision.
