Which of the following describes a Salesman under the Act?

A Salesman under the Act is a natural person employed by a licensed broker to perform the duties of a broker, under the broker’s supervision. This means the salesman helps carry out broker activities—like listing, showing vessels, negotiating, and assisting with transactions—but always as an agent of a licensed broker and not operating independently. That’s why the description of a natural person employed by a licensed broker to perform the duties of a broker is the correct match. The other scenarios don’t fit the role: renting yachts without compensation isn’t performing broker duties; inspecting yachts for safety is a separate professional service; advertising yachts without selling isn’t performing the broker duties that define a Salesman.
