60 days
The answer is "Two years"
A minor's second or subsequent refusal to provide a breath or blood specimen carries a two-year suspension. The trap is 180 days, which is the first-offense figure from the same table. A test-taker who reads only the top row of the refusal table carries that number forward and misses the jump on the second offense.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 180 days
180 days is the suspension for a minor's first refusal, not a second one. Table 27 sets 180 days for the first offense and jumps to two years for every offense after. Reads only the first-offense row of the refusal table and treats that figure as the penalty for every refusal, regardless of offense count.
C. One year
One year is the suspension for a minor age 17 to 21 convicted of a third DUI offense, and a judge's order for an ignition interlock device drops that to 90 days. It belongs to the DUI penalties table, not the refusal table. Slides the third-DUI-conviction figure across to a refusal question, treating a conviction penalty as if it governed the specimen-refusal decision.
D. 60 days
60 days is the first-offense suspension when a minor provides a specimen showing a detectable amount below 0.08. That figure lives in the provided-specimen table, not the refusal table. Grabs a 60-day figure from the specimen-provided table and applies it to a refusal, since both tables sit in the same chapter and print similar day counts.
