Rule 404(b)(2) allows evidence of other crimes for purposes other than proving the defendant’s propensity. The permissible purposes include motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, absence of mistake, or lack of accident. The option that lists these purposes matches exactly what the rule allows, so it is the correct choice. The other options rely on portraying the defendant’s character or use impeachment, neither of which falls under the permissible 404(b)(2) purposes.
