Felon in Possession requires what condition?

The defendant must have been convicted of a violent crime or drug felony

The main rule being tested is that a person barred from firearm possession is someone who has a prior felony conviction. For the Felon in Possession charge, the essential condition is that the defendant has previously been convicted of a felony. In many firearm-prohibition contexts, those felonies are described as violent crimes or drug felonies, which is why this option fits the common framing of the requirement. The other options miss the trigger for the offense: being on probation, or possessing a firearm during a non-violent or financial crime, does not establish the necessary prior felony status.

The defendant must be on probation

The defendant must be in possession of a firearm during a non-violent offense

The defendant must be in possession of a firearm during a financial crime
