Forgery involving which of the following instruments is punishable as a State Jail Felony?

• A. Lottery Ticket
• B. Passport
• C. Credit Card
• D. Email

Answer: (C)

In this area of law, forgery penalties depend on the kind of instrument that is forged. The offense hinges on making or altering a writing with intent to defraud, and the statute assigns different punishments based on the instrument involved. Forging a credit card is specifically categorized as a state jail felony, reflecting the financial fraud tied to a credit instrument and the statutory focus on that type of wrongdoing. The other items—such as a passport or lottery ticket—are governed by different provisions or carry different penalties, and forging an email falls into separate, often unrelated offenses or statutes. So, among the listed options, a forged credit card fits the forgery regime that carries the state jail felony designation.
