Correct answer: A. 90 days

Why the other options are wrong
- B. 180 days is typically for a second offense or higher BAC levels, not the minimum for a first offense.
- C. 1 year is a suspension period for more severe or repeat offenses.
- D. 30 days is too short for a mandatory minimum DWI suspension.
