A warning or probation
Imprisonment in county jail

The correct answer is: Imprisonment in state prison or removal from office

The typical penalty for a felony includes imprisonment in state prison or removal from office, making it a severe consequence compared to the alternatives. Felonies are considered serious crimes, and as a result, the legal system has established more stringent penalties for them. Imprisonment in state prison usually involves longer sentences than those associated with lesser offenses, reflecting the gravity of the crime. Additionally, certain felonies can lead to the removal of an official from their position, particularly in cases involving public corruption or betrayal of public trust. This reflects the legal system's intent to deter serious criminal behavior and maintain integrity in public office. The other options generally pertain to less severe offenses or alternative penalties typically associated with misdemeanors or minor infractions.
