Periodic inspections may be regularly scheduled on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis and may exceed annually. True or False?

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

Answer: (C)

Periodic inspections are done on a regular schedule defined by a fixed cadence. The cadence determines how often the inspections occur in a year—monthly yields twelve per year, quarterly yields four, and annual yields one. The statement’s addition that these inspections “may exceed annually” introduces an idea that isn’t needed for understanding how a cadence works: if you choose monthly or quarterly, you’re already going beyond once per year; if you choose annual, you’re not. Framing it as a separate possibility outside the cadence isn’t accurate, so the statement is not correct.
