Option C.

Explanation:

A revenue-raising licensing statutes refers to a licensing statute in which the primary purpose of raising revenue is to make money for the government.

Under this statute, an individual that provides services pursuant to a contract without possessing the appropriate license which is required by the statute can be able to enforce the contract and recover payment for services rendered.

Therefore, from the scenario presented above, The Little Nipper will win, and they will be able to recover whatever is owed to them by Craig.
