14-147 (c) improper use if license or registration carries which penalty?

• A. Misdemeanor
• B. Infraction
• C. Summons
• D. $92

Answer: (A)

Misuse of a license or registration is treated as a criminal offense rather than a simple civil violation. That means the penalty is described in terms of criminal charges, not just a monetary fine or a court appearance notice.

Why this is the best fit: A misdemeanor captures the level of wrongdoing implied by improper use of official documents, reflecting a greater seriousness than an infraction (which is a minor, non-criminal violation) and more than a summons (which is just a notice to appear, not a penalty). The option of a specific dollar amount like $92 isn’t universally applicable and doesn’t define the offense; penalties for crimes like this are set as criminal charges that could include jail time and fines. So a misdemeanor best describes the appropriate consequence for this type of offense.
