The third offense under the after-one-month category carries the highest basic fine among all listed penalties.

• A. The third offense under the after-one-month category carries the highest basic fine among all listed penalties.
• B. The first offense under the after-one-month category carries a higher fine than the third offense under the late submission category.
• C. The penalties described include only fixed amounts with no daily fines.
• D. The fixed penalty for violations not mentioned is 2,000 pesos.

Answer: (A)

Focus on the comparison of basic fines across all penalties. The correct statement is true when, after examining every listed penalty, the basic fine attached to the third offense in the after-one-month category is the largest of them all. That’s why this option is the best: it directly reflects the outcome of comparing all the basic fines described.

The other ideas require different relationships or rules that aren’t supported by the data. For example, asserting a higher fine in another category, claiming there are no daily fines when daily fines exist, or stating a fixed amount for offenses not mentioned would only be correct if the data showed those specifics. Since the data shows the third offense in the after-one-month category has the highest basic fine, that option accurately mirrors the information.
