D) is false
 Selling prescription drugs without proper licensing is a violation of a variety of Federal and state laws. Drugs are classified by the Food and Drug Administration based upon their usefulness in treating medical conditions, propensity for abuse, severity of side effects, etc. The ability to sell medications is controlled through the process of licensing pharmacists, physicians, and other medical professionals. Selling prescription drugs without the proper license to do so or possessing the proper license to sell prescription drugs, but doing so without a valid medical reason, is usually treated as a felony - meaning the punishment is usually more severe - while, merely illegally possessing the illegally obtained prescription medications is usually treated as misdemeanor.
