Show the answer and explanation

Correct answer: The state mortgage regulatory agency where the MLO is licensed

State mortgage regulatory agencies hold the authority to suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew an MLO's license in their state. The NMLS itself is a technology platform and does not have independent enforcement authority. The CFPB has broad oversight of mortgage market participants but does not hold individual state licenses or directly revoke them. An MLO's employer can terminate employment but cannot revoke a government-issued license.
