The correct answer is b.

This is a criminal case, which means no one can go to jail unless they are held in contempt of court by Hector. A criminal fine can only be imposed as a penalty for being held in contempt of court. The judge is not part of the legal suit, so he is not eligible for pay except for what he normally earns as his salary.
