The Florida legislature, under Fl. §455.223-225, granted the DBPR the authority to ______.

  1. Tax real estate transactions

  2. Appoint members to the FREC

  3. Impose imprisonment as a penalty

  4. Investigate consumer complaints

The correct answer is: Investigate consumer complaints

Option A refers to the state government's power to tax real estate transactions, which is not related to the DBPR's authority under Fl. §455.223-225. Option B refers to the DBPR's power to appoint members to the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC), but this is not the specific authority granted by Fl. §455.223-225. Option C is incorrect because the DBPR does not have the power to impose imprisonment as a penalty. This is handled by the judicial system. The correct answer is D because Fl. §455.223-225 grants the DBPR the authority to investigate consumer complaints in relation to real estate transactions.
