Why C is correct
Under G.S. 58-2-70(d), the Commissioner may order a civil penalty of $100 to $1,000 per violation of Chapter 58, in addition to or instead of suspension or revocation. Each day of a continuing violation is a separate violation, and restitution is also available through Wake County Superior Court.
Why the other options are wrong

- D) The $75 figure is the continuing education administrative fee under G.S. 58-33-130(c), unrelated to civil penalties.
