Which statement best describes the scope of authority for Authorized Assistants?

Explanation:
Authorized Assistants are allowed to apply pesticides, but only those in Schedules 1–4, and only when the task is performed under direct supervision of a licensed pesticide applicator. This setup keeps safety and accountability with the supervisor while enabling practical on-site support. The assistant remains limited to applying those specific products and is not authorized to handle higher‑risk schedules or perform other certification roles. Direct supervision means the supervising applicator is on-site (or immediately reachable) and able to intervene if needed.
