The correct answer is C: They must submit the application document to the coordinating VEC according to the coordinating VEC instructions. What the administering VEs must do after the administration of a successful examination for an amateur operator license is to submit the application document to the coordinating VEC according to the coordinating VEC instructions.

Why Other Answers Are Wrong
Option A: Incorrect. Sending documents directly to FCC isn't required - VEs submit to VEC, not directly to FCC. Direct FCC submission isn't required. Option B: Incorrect. Submitting to VEC for grading isn't correct - VEC doesn't grade, VEs grade. VEC grading isn't correct. Option D: Incorrect. Returning documents to applicant isn't required - VEs submit to VEC, not return to applicant. Return to applicant isn't required.
Exam Tip
Successful exam application = submit to coordinating VEC per VEC instructions. Think 'S'uccessful 'E'xam = 'S'ubmit to 'E'C (VEC) per instructions. VEs submit successful applications to the VEC according to VEC instructions. Not direct FCC, not VEC grading, not return to applicant - just submit to VEC per instructions.
Memory Aid
Successful exam application = submit to coordinating VEC per VEC instructions. Think 'S'uccessful 'E'xam = 'S'ubmit to 'E'C. VEs submit successful applications to the VEC according to VEC instructions. Important VE procedure.
Real-World Example
After a successful examination: The administering VEs must submit the application document to the coordinating VEC according to the coordinating VEC's instructions. The VEC then processes the application and forwards it to the FCC. VEs don't send directly to FCC or return to applicant - they submit to VEC per VEC instructions. This is the procedure.
