Which term describes the sanction for a rule violation?

• A. A rehabilitation program.
• B. An administrative review.
• C. A training exercise.
• D. Sanction for a rule violation.

Answer: (D)

The main idea is identifying the penalty imposed for breaking a rule. A sanction is the consequence or punishment assigned for a rule violation, so the term that describes the sanction itself is literally “sanction for a rule violation.” This word-choice directly names the consequence, which is why it fits best.

The other options describe actions or processes rather than the penalty itself. A rehabilitation program is a corrective measure aimed at reforming behavior, not the formal penalty. An administrative review is a procedural step to examine or challenge a violation, not the consequence imposed. A training exercise is an educational or practice activity, not a punishment or penalty.
