Which statement correctly reflects the tattoo policy for hires prior to January 9, 2010?

• A. Hires prior to Jan 9, 2010 cannot have any tattoos.
• B. Hires prior to Jan 9, 2010 may have up to three visible tattoos.
• C. Hires prior to Jan 9, 2010 may have any number of tattoos.
• D. Hires prior to Jan 9, 2010 may have up to two visible tattoos, no larger than 3x5.

Answer: (D)

The concept being tested is a time-specific policy that controls how many tattoos employees could have visible and how large those tattoos could be. For hires before January 9, 2010, the rule allowed up to two tattoos that were visible, with each tattoo no larger than 3x5 inches. That exact combination—two visible tattoos with a maximum size of 3x5 inches—is why the statement is correct. The other options imply a blanket ban, a higher allowed count, or no limit at all, which do not reflect the stated restrictions for that date.
