Which of the following is a stated consequence of unauthorized changes to the CEHv13 product?

• A. Warning email
• B. No consequences
• C. Financial penalty
• D. Legal punishment

Answer: (D)

Unauthorized changes to the CEHv13 product violate license terms and copyright, so they trigger legal consequences. The CEH materials are protected intellectual property with strict terms about what you can and cannot modify; crossing those boundaries is considered illegal activity, which is punishable under the law. That’s why the stated consequence is legal punishment—it's a formal, enforceable outcome tied to copyright and license violations.

While a warning email or internal sanctions might occur in some settings, they aren’t the formal, legally enforceable consequence implied here. Saying there are no consequences isn’t accurate, and a financial penalty could happen in civil actions, but the broader, legally grounded consequence emphasized in this context is legal punishment.
