The willful failure to display a certificate of registration (barber's license) constitutes a:

  1. felony

  2. compliance

  3. criminal act

  4. violation

The correct answer is: violation

All of the options except for D are incorrect in this scenario. A felony refers to a serious crime, and the failure to display a certificate of registration would not typically be considered a felony. Compliance refers to following rules or regulations, which is not the same as the consequences of failing to comply. Similarly, a criminal act would refer to an intentional, illegal action, which is not necessarily the case with the failure to display a license. A violation is the most accurate term for this type of offense, as it refers to breaking a rule or law, which is what occurs when someone fails to display their barber's license.
