What is the statute of limitations for making a statement known to be false?

2 years
3 years
4 years
5 years

The correct answer is: 4 years

The other options of 2, 3, and 5 years are incorrect because they do not align with the general statute of limitations for making a false statement. For example, many states have a statute of limitations of 3 years for general civil cases, which is why option B may seem like a plausible answer. However, making a knowingly false statement is considered a more serious offense and may have a longer statute of limitations. On the other hand, option A of 2 years may not give enough time for the consequences of the false statement to fully come to light. Option D of 5 years may seem reasonable, but 4 years is the most common statute of limitations for this type of offense. Therefore, option C is the best answer because it aligns with the most common and reasonable statute of limitations for making a known false statement.
