Salespersons or broker associates can advertise property under ONLY their own names when they ___.

While having a broker's approval is important for compliance with real estate regulations, it does not grant authority to advertise under one's own name. Salespersons must still adhere to the requirement that advertisements must reflect their broker's identity unless they own the property.

Holding an inactive real-estate license means the individual cannot engage in real estate activities, including advertising properties. An inactive status indicates they are not authorized to conduct any transactions or promote properties, thus making this option incorrect.

Including a broker's phone number in advertisements does not authorize a salesperson to advertise under their own name. This choice reflects a standard practice to ensure potential buyers can contact the broker directly, but it does not change the requirement to advertise under the broker's name unless the salesperson owns the property.
