Which statement correctly describes the refund condition of Peak's fine?

• A. The $150,000 fine was non-refundable
• B. The $150,000 fine was refunded only if he apologized publicly
• C. The $150,000 fine was refundable if he meets his sentence
• D. The $150,000 fine must be paid in installments

Answer: (C)

This question tests how a refund condition works when a punishment or payment is tied to meeting a requirement. The correct statement shows the refund happening only if he completes the sentence, which means the refund is conditional on fulfilling that obligation. In other words, the fine isn’t automatically returned; it becomes refundable only through meeting the specified sentence terms. This matches the idea of a conditional refund.

The other options don’t fit because they change or ignore the condition. Saying the fine is non-refundable removes the idea of any conditional refund. Requiring a public apology adds a different condition not stated. Being paid in installments concerns how the payment is made, not whether a refund is possible.
