What is the outcome when probation ends due to rule violations?

• A. Completion
• B. Modification
• C. Revocation
• D. Termination

Answer: (C)

Probation is a conditional release with specific rules. When those rules are followed, probation can end with successful completion. If the person violates the conditions, the supervision can be terminated by revoking the probation. Revocation means the suspended sentence is reset into effect, so the court may impose the original jail or prison term or otherwise re-sentence the offender. In short, rule violations trigger revocation, not completion or mere modification; termination would imply ending probation without a violation or after completion.
