What is the maximum penalty for serving alcohol to a minor?
  1. A fine of $50,000 or more
  2. A jail sentence of no longer than a year
  3. A probation sentence of at least 12 months
  4. A prison sentence of five years or more
Explanation
Answer: D - The maximum penalty for serving alcohol to a minor is prison time, which can be five years or sometimes more.

Serving alcohol to a minor comes with different options for penalties, largely depending on whether or not someone was injured as a result of the minor having consumed alcohol. Fines are common punishments, but the most severe penalty is prison time. And if the crime is marked as a felony (usually if something like a car accident is involved), the sentence can be five years or, in some cases, more.
