Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: FMCSA does not typically give just a verbal warning with no fine for first offenses related to mobile device rules.
• Option B: Violating FMCSA's mobile device rules can result in significant fines for both the driver and the company, and there's a possibility of CDL disqualification. This aligns with regulatory penalties.
• Option C: Penalties often apply to both the driver and the company, not just the driver.
• Option D: Mandatory retraining alone with no other penalties is not accurate; fines and potential CDL issues are common.

Answer:

B. Significant fines for both the driver and the company, and possible CDL disqualification
