The answer is the first one (A): Incarcerate the agent.

Explanation for each option: A. Incarcerate the agent - This is incorrect because the State Corporation Commission does not have the authority to incarcerate an agent. Incarceration is a function of the judicial system, not a regulatory body like the State Corporation Commission.

B. Issue monetary fines - This is correct because regulatory bodies like the State Corporation Commission often have the authority to impose monetary fines on agents who violate regulations.

C. Subpoena a respondent - This is correct because regulatory bodies typically have the power to issue subpoenas to compel individuals to provide testimony or documents relevant to an investigation.

D. Issue a cease and desist order - This is correct because regulatory bodies can issue cease and desist orders to stop agents from engaging in certain activities that are deemed harmful or illegal.

Summary: The State Corporation Commission can issue monetary fines, subpoena respondents, and issue cease and desist orders, but it does not have the authority to incarcerate an agent. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
