Notice or punishment attached to a violation for the purpose of enforcing a law or regulation.

Notice or punishment attached to a violation for the purpose of enforcing a law or regulation.

• A. Penalty
• B. Fine
• C. Injunction
• D. Sanction

Answer: (D)

A sanction is the general term for any measure attached to a violation to enforce a law or regulation. It encompasses the notice, punishment, or other enforcement actions used to compel compliance, serving to deter violations. While a penalty or a fine are specific forms of sanctions (a penalty is the punishment, a fine is a monetary penalty), and an injunction is a court order, the broader concept that fits the description best is sanction.
