Which of the following correctly describes the penalty for violating this section?

• A. $100 minimum fine or 6 months imprisonment
• B. Not specified
• C. $100-$1000 fine or 6 months-1 year imprisonment or both
• D. No penalty

Answer: (C)

The penalty described is a range for both fines and imprisonment, with the possibility of both penalties applying. In this section, violations carry a fine from 100 to 1000 dollars and imprisonment from six months to one year, and either penalty—or both—can occur. This structure matches how many statutes specify penalties: a monetary limit that can scale with the violation and a separate term of imprisonment within a defined window, rather than a single fixed amount or no penalty at all.

Why this fits better than the other options: a fixed minimum fine and a fixed imprisonment term doesn’t capture the full range allowed (it omits the upper bound for the fine and the possibility of longer imprisonment or both penalties). Saying penalties are not specified contradicts the actual language, and saying there is no penalty contradicts the existence of any sanctioned punishment.
