Question 9 • Introduction to Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security
Probation is a court-ordered period of supervision in the community instead of, or after, time in prison.

Choice B is the closest match because it describes conditional release, while the other choices describe a reversed judgment, an extended sentence, or an evaluation.
