Criminal Impersonation is a misdemeanor of which class?

• A. Felony (class B)
• B. Felony (class C)
• C. Misdemeanor (class A)
• D. Misdemeanor (class B)

Answer: (D)

This item tests how offenses are categorized by severity. Criminal impersonation is treated as a crime of lesser gravity than a felony, so it falls under a misdemeanor rather than a felony. Within the misdemeanor spectrum, many jurisdictions use A, B, and C to indicate levels of seriousness, with A being the most serious. For impersonation alone, the statute typically assigns a mid-level penalty, a class B misdemeanor—not the most serious (A) and not the least severe (C). So the best fit is a misdemeanor at the B level. If the impersonation were paired with additional elements like fraud or serious harm, it could escalate to a higher offense, but on its own it’s a class B misdemeanor.
