Sanctions can be either comprehensive or selective using the blocking of assets and trade restrictions (C):“OFAC administers both comprehensive and targeted (selective) sanctions programs to fulfill U.S. foreign policy and national security goals.”(CAMS 6th Edition, Sanctions Compliance)

Incorrect Options:

A: OFAC can sanction entities, vessels, and organizations—not just individuals or those in foreign countries.

D: There is no automatic expiration of OFAC sanctions after five years.
