Best Answer Explained in Below-:

The phrase "he has paid the penalty for his crimes" correctly uses "for" to indicate the reason or justification for the penalty. In this context, "for" links the individual's actions (his crimes) to the consequences (the penalty). It signifies that he is facing repercussions specifically because of those crimes.

The second part of the sentence, "with five years in prison," employs "with" to denote the method or condition of how he is serving that penalty. "With" implies that he is fulfilling his punishment by spending time in prison. This construction effectively communicates that the penalty he has paid includes a substantial prison term.

Thus, option D) "for, with" is the only combination that accurately captures the causal relationship between the crimes and the penalty, as well as the manner in which the penalty is being served. Other options either fail to create clear relationships or use incorrect prepositions that do not fit the context of the sentence. Therefore, "for, with" is the appropriate choice, ensuring clarity and correctness in expressing the consequences of the individual’s actions.
