For how many years must dealers keep records on the sale of pesticides?

3 years
5 years
7 years
10 years

The correct answer is: 7 years

Dealers must keep records on the sale of pesticides for 7 years. This is because the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) requires all pesticide dealers to keep records on sales and distribution for at least 2 years, and some state laws require an additional 5 years of record-keeping. This ensures that dealers can provide information about the products they have sold if needed for regulatory or safety purposes. Options A, B, and D are not correct because they do not meet the minimum requirements set by FIFRA and state laws. Choosing option A or B would leave dealers in violation of regulations, and choosing option D would result in unnecessary record-keeping beyond what is required.
