1st Degree Felony Punishment is described as:

• A. 2-20 years
• B. Life in prison
• C. 180 days-2 years
• D. Fine not to exceed $10,000, jail time 5-99 years

Answer: (D)

First-degree felonies carry the heaviest penalties without a capital sentence: a long prison term and a substantial fine. The typical range is 5 to 99 years in prison, with the possibility of life in certain cases, and a fine up to $10,000. The option that best matches this combination—prison time in the 5–99 year range and a fine not to exceed $10,000—is the closest fit among the choices. The other options don’t align with the typical severity: 2nd-degree felonies are generally shorter (2–20 years), life imprisonment can occur but isn’t paired with a listed fine in that choice, and a short term like 180 days to 2 years plus no fine doesn’t reflect a first-degree felony.
