Respuesta :

Answer:

B.  Split-sentence probation

Explanation:

A split sentence occurs when a defendant is under probation for some time after spending some time in prison. This means that the sentence is divided into two sections. The period that one spends on probation on how bad your case was and the time that one has spent in jail.

However, states have specific guidelines when determining. For instance, the defendants should have an overall sentence that should be below 15 years. After finishing the sentence, the defendant is then left free.
