Which statement summarizes Andy's legal penalties after the incident?

• A. DWI charge alone
• B. DWI with license revoked until 21
• C. DWI with a two-year probation
• D. DWI charge with license revoked until 21 and a two-year suspended sentence

Answer: (D)

Understanding this scenario shows that penalties after a DWI can include more than just a criminal charge. The best answer reflects all parts of Andy’s consequences: a DWI charge, license revocation until age 21, and a two-year suspended sentence. The license revocation addresses driving privileges, while the suspended sentence means a jail term is placed on hold as long as he meets conditions. This combination demonstrates how legal outcomes can combine criminal charges with administrative actions and sentencing that isn’t served immediately. The other options miss at least one of these elements, such as omitting the license action or the suspended sentence.
