B
A is wrong, B is irrelevant
C
B is right but is not a continuation of A
D
Both (A) and (B) are false
Correct Option:
A
Explanation
Section 10A provides that a person granted a licence under Section 10 is treated as a licensee for purposes of the Act, including levy of fees under Section 23, regardless of whether the particular buying or selling activity is expressly specified in the licence. Thus statement B follows directly from the principle in A.
