Final answer:
The NCREC cannot set the agent's license to inactive status as a direct disciplinary measure for not delivering a real estate purchase agreement in time; this is typically a voluntary action or an administrative process. Option D is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
When a licensee fails to deliver a completed copy of any purchase agreement or offer to buy and sell real estate within a reasonable time, the North Carolina Real Estate Commission (NCREC) may take several actions. However, one action that the NCREC may not take, according to the provided information, is to set the agent's license to inactive status as a direct disciplinary measure for this specific violation.
The possible actions they may take include to revoke the agent's license, suspend the agent's license, or censure or reprimand the licensee. It should be noted that setting an agent's license to inactive status is typically a voluntary action by the licensee or part of the administrative process due to lack of continuing education, rather than a disciplinary action imposed for failure to deliver contractual documents.
