Answer
A
Eight hours training on the job and two years prior experience in law enforcement or criminal justice
B
Eight hours training prior to beginning work
C
Eight hours training before beginning, 8 – 16 hours on the job, and eight hours each year
D
Eight hours training before and after beginning to work

Explanation

Security-guard training guidelines commonly require instruction before a guard begins work, additional on-the-job training, and periodic refresher training. Choice C describes all three stages: eight hours before starting, 8–16 hours on the job, and eight hours each year. The other choices omit either the on-the-job or ongoing annual training.
