The correct answer is: Verifying the buyer's FOID card is valid

Before selling or transferring a firearm in Illinois, it is crucial to verify the buyer's Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card is valid. This step ensures that the individual receiving the firearm is legally allowed to possess a firearm in the state of Illinois. Verifying the validity of the buyer's FOID card is a legal requirement and helps prevent the illegal transfer of firearms to individuals who are prohibited from owning them. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
