*Correct Answer is  D: Technician, General, Amateur Extra*  

### AI Response: (may contain errors)  

The correct answer to the question about which license classes are currently available from the FCC is:

**D: Technician, General, Amateur Extra**

### Explanation of the Correct Answer:
- The FCC currently issues three classes of amateur radio licenses: 
  - **Technician**: This is the entry-level license that allows access to VHF and UHF bands.
  - **General**: This license provides more privileges, including access to HF bands.
  - **Amateur Extra**: This is the highest level of amateur radio license, granting full privileges across all amateur bands.

### Why the Other Choices are Incorrect:
- **A: Novice, Technician, General, Amateur Extra**
  - **Incorrect**: The Novice license is no longer issued by the FCC. It was phased out in 2000.
  
- **B: Technician, Technician Plus, General, Amateur Extra**
  - **Incorrect**: The Technician Plus license is also no longer issued. It was a transitional license that allowed some additional privileges but has been eliminated.
  
- **C: Novice, Technician Plus, General, Advanced**
  - **Incorrect**: Both the Novice and Technician Plus licenses are not available. The Advanced license is still valid but is not one of the current entry points for new licenses.

### Summary:
- The only current licenses available for new applicants are Technician, General, and Amateur Extra. Understanding the current licensing structure is crucial for the Extra Class exam and for operating legally in the amateur radio service.
