A warning for the first offense
A fine
A misdemeanor charge
A felony charge

The correct answer is: A felony charge

Carrying a firearm in a prohibited area in Rhode Island is a serious offense that can result in a felony charge. This means that the individual could face significant fines and potential imprisonment. Option A and B are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the severity of the offense. A warning or fine may be given for a first offense, but it is not the standard penalty. Option C is also incorrect as it suggests a misdemeanor charge, which is a less serious crime than a felony. In Rhode Island, the penalty for carrying a firearm in a prohibited area is a felony charge.
