Immunity is exemption from penalties, payments, or ______ and is granted by authorities or statutes.

• A. Duties
• B. Legal requirements
• C. Criminal liability
• D. Taxes

Answer: (B)

Immunity means exemption from penalties, payments, or legal requirements and is granted by authorities or statutes. In practice, this idea covers the broad obligation people would normally have under the law—things they might have to pay or do as required by law—being waived in specific situations. That’s why the best choice is legal requirements, as it encompasses all those possible duties and obligations that immunity can remove. The other options are narrower or refer to a specific consequence: duties are a type of obligation, but the standard term used in statutes is legal requirements; criminal liability is a consequence you’re shielded from, not the general category of obligations being waived; taxes are just one example of a payment, not the general concept immunity describes.
