2nd Degree Felony Punishment includes which combination?

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

Answer: (D)

Second-degree felonies are punished with both a prison term and a monetary penalty. The standard range is a jail term of 2 to 20 years and a fine up to $10,000. This combination shows the level of severity expected for this degree: a substantial period of confinement plus a financial consequence. The other ranges either shorten the incarceration (for example, 180 days to 2 years), extend it far beyond typical limits (such as 5 to 99 years), or omit the fine entirely. Since the usual punishment for a second-degree felony includes both a 2–20 year sentence and a fine up to $10,000, the choice matching that description is the correct one. If your course materials show a different pairing, double-check the specific jurisdiction, but the general rule you should rely on is 2–20 years with up to $10,000 in fines.
