Suggested Answer:A🗳️
Finn has not violated any laws or engaged in any prohibited practices in using the words "Certified Financial Planner" on his business cards. Had he indicated he had been certified or approved by the state, he would have been in violation, but he is allowed to indicate a certification with a professional organization in any advertising literature.
