What is the maximum penalty for an individual convicted of an offence under the Consumer Protection Act?

  1. $10,000 fine

  2. $50,000 fine or two years less a day in jail

  3. $100,000 fine

  4. Life imprisonment

The correct answer is: $50,000 fine or two years less a day in jail

Option B is the correct answer because it states the maximum penalty for an individual convicted of an offence under the Consumer Protection Act as a $50,000 fine or two years less a day in jail. This is the highest penalty that can be given for violating the Act. Option A, $10,000 fine, is not the maximum penalty and may be given for lesser offences. Options C and D, $100,000 fine and life imprisonment respectively, are incorrect as they exceed the maximum penalty stated in the Act and would not be applicable punishments for offences under this Act. It is important to note that the maximum penalty may vary depending on the specific offence and circumstances. It is always best to refer to the actual act for accurate information on penalties.
