• D. 400

Answer: (C)

The amount of supervised practice hours required for CAC II certification is what this item is testing. This level of credentialing is meant to ensure you’ve gathered substantial hands-on experience under supervision, covering essential tasks such as intake and assessment, treatment planning, counseling interventions, documentation, and ethics across diverse client situations. Among the options, the choice that represents a relatively high, but feasible, total hours best fits a level II credential, reflecting the depth of clinical exposure expected at this stage. The smaller hour totals are typically not sufficient to demonstrate competence across the range of responsibilities involved. Always verify the exact hours with your jurisdiction’s certification board, since requirements can vary.
