Which statement about the Technology Fee reflects the correct maximum amount?

• A. The Technology Fee may not be less than $4.
• B. The Technology Fee is fixed at $5.
• C. The Technology Fee may not exceed $4.
• D. The Technology Fee is funded entirely by the state.

Answer: (C)

Understanding how a maximum amount is described helps you pick the right statement. A maximum or ceiling is shown with “may not exceed.” Saying the Technology Fee may not exceed four dollars means four dollars is the highest allowed charge. The other options describe a minimum to pay (not less than), a fixed amount (a specific value without a cap), or funding source (who pays) rather than the limit on the fee. So the statement that the Technology Fee may not exceed four dollars best expresses the maximum amount.
