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 of the Act, including the intentional release of regulated refrigerants such as R-11, R-12, and R-22. This penalty amount is specified in Section 113(b) of the Clean Air Act. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the civil penalty amount stated in the Clean Air Act. The Act specifically authorizes penalties up to $25,000 per day per violation, not $5,000, $10,000, or $50,000.
