Which statement describes Class 5 Felony penalties?

• A. 20 years to life
• B. 1 to 10 years or up to 12 months in jail, and a fine of not more than $2,500
• C. 2 to 5 years
• D. 1 year or less in jail with no fine

Answer: (B)

Penalties for Class 5 felonies are set as a prison term of 1 to 10 years with a fine not to exceed $2,500. This best matches the described ranges and fines for this class, placing it in the middle of the felony scale. The other options propose terms that are either far longer (20 years to life), narrower (2 to 5 years) without the specified fine, or shorter and fine-free (1 year or less), none of which align with the prescribed Class 5 penalties.
