What classifications are listed for misdemeanors?

• A. Class B, Class C
• B. Class A
• C. Class A, Class B, Class C
• D. Class I, Class II, Class III

Answer: (C)

Misdemeanor offenses are organized into three levels: Class A, Class B, and Class C. This three-tier system is the standard in many state codes and is the format you’ll see on BPOC practice questions. The level indicates increasing severity and penalties, with Class A being the most serious and Class C the least. Class A typically carries the possibility of jail time and higher fines, Class B involves lesser jail time and fines, and Class C is usually a fine-only offense with no jail time. Other labeling schemes (like Class I, II, III) aren’t the ones used for misdemeanors in this context, so the three-class A/B/C system is the correct framework.
