What offense is characterized by intentionally or knowingly operating another person's boat, airplane, or motor vehicle without consent?

  1. FELONY 2nd Degree

  2. STATE Jail Felony

  3. CLASS "A"

  4. CLASS "B"

The correct answer is: STATE Jail Felony

Operating another person's boat, airplane, or motor vehicle without their consent is classified as a STATE Jail Felony. This means that it is punishable by imprisonment in a state jail facility for a term ranging from 180 days to 2 years, and may also include a fine of up to $10,000. Option A, FELONY 2nd Degree, is too severe as this offense is only considered a misdemeanor, not a felony. Option C, CLASS "A", and D, CLASS "B", refer to the classification of misdemeanors, not felonies. These options are also not appropriate as this offense is classified as a felony.
