A$5,000
B$10,000
C$25,000
D$50,000
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) $25,000. The Clean Air Act of 1990 imposes civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day for each violation related to the intentional release of certain refrigerants, including R-11, R-12, and R-22, which are classified as Class I or Class II substances. This is specified in Section 113(b) of the Clean Air Act, which outlines the civil judicial enforcement provisions and the maximum penalties for various violations. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the penalty amount stipulated in the Clean Air Act. The Act specifically sets the maximum civil penalty at $25,000 per day for each violation, not $5,000, $10,000, or $50,000.
