Final answer:

The correct answer depends on jurisdiction-specific laws regulating the reinstatement of a physical therapist's license post-active duty. It is common for laws to protect servicemembers' professional licenses, potentially allowing for reinstatement within a specific timeframe or preventing expiration during deployment. Consultation with the appropriate licensing board or review of state statutes is necessary for accurate guidance.

Step-by-step explanation:

To reinstate a license that has expired while a physical therapist (PT) was on active duty, different rules and timeframes can apply based on jurisdiction. Typically, most licensing boards provide a grace period for members of the armed forces to renew their professional licenses without penalties. The correct answer to this question would depend on the specific laws or regulations that apply to PT licensure in the jurisdiction in question. If we assume a generic scenario, one could argue that option D might be true, as many regions have laws in place that protect the licensure status of individuals while they are on active duty, meaning their license may not expire or may be subject to special reinstatement conditions upon discharge (d/c).

However, without specific details, it's difficult to definitively answer whether A, B, or C is correct without making assumptions. Therefore, the person in question should check with the relevant licensing board or consult the specific laws pertaining to professional licensure for service members in their area. This information will often be detailed in state statutes or administrative codes.
