A sentence on conviction for a crime that has been deferred by the court so that the offender might complete a probationary period is known as a suspended sentence.

The punishment is often deemed satisfied if the offender adheres to the specific probationary requirements and does not breach the law during that time.

In addition to any sentence for the new offense, the court may order the offender to complete the sentence if they commit another offense or violate the terms of their probation.

What is Probation?

In the context of criminal law, probation is a term during which a defendant is under court-ordered supervision rather than being imprisoned.

Probation exclusively refers to community sentencing (i.e., alternatives to jail) in some jurisdictions, such as suspended sentences.

Others define probation to also include the supervision of inmates who have been granted conditional parole.

Hence, option B is correct.
