• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Specified
• D. Not Applicable

Answer: (B)

Plan review leads to an official determination about code compliance, and that decision is documented on the plan set with a formal stamp, the code official’s signature, and the date to show who approved it and when. The stamp used is not simply “OK”; it typically reads something like “Approved” (or “Approved as Submitted” / “Approved with Corrections”) and is accompanied by the reviewer’s signature and the approval date. If corrections are required, the plan may be stamped to indicate review status and the need for revisions, but final approval only occurs after those corrections are accepted and a permit is issued. So the statement as written isn’t correct because the approval isn’t just a casual “OK” stamp; it’s a formal, signed, dated indication of approval (or of any required corrections) that ties to the permit process.
