The correct option is:

c. $40,000 fine.

A civil penalty refers to a fine established for infringement of a statute or regulation. It can be a fine or surtaxes required by governmental agencies for implementing regulations. For example, someone who emits an air contaminant in violation of any regulation, failing to take corrective action, is liable for a civil penalty of up to forty thousand dollars.
