The key idea is that the late reactivation fee is calculated per month of lapse, not as a one-time flat charge. The statement that “15 dollars (multiplied by months late)” means you owe 15 dollars for each month the license was not active, so the total grows with how long the license has been lapsed. That’s why the correct choice is the per-month amount rather than a flat lump sum.

Also important is the note that paying this late fee does not bar the board from taking disciplinary action. Even after you reactivate and settle the late fee, the board can still discipline for any violations tied to having a lapsed license or other ethical or professional conduct issues. So the per-month late fee is the administrative penalty, while discipline is a separate remedy available to the board.
