Which of the following is true regarding the relationship between salespeople and brokers?

  1. All salespeople must work independently

  2. All salespeople must work for brokers

  3. Salespeople are not allowed to work for brokers

  4. Salespeople can choose to work for brokers or independently

The correct answer is: All salespeople must work for brokers

Salespeople are individuals who are hired to sell products or services on behalf of a company. Brokers, on the other hand, are licensed professionals who act as intermediaries between buyers and sellers. Therefore, the relationship between salespeople and brokers is that salespeople work for brokers as their employer. Option A is incorrect because salespeople can work independently, but it is not a requirement for all salespeople. Option B is incorrect because salespeople can choose to work for brokers or independently, as stated in option D. Option C is incorrect because it is not true that salespeople are not allowed to work for brokers, they can choose to do so if they wish.
