Correct answer choice is :


D) Reasonable bail must be set.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution states, Excessive bail shall not be needed, nor unnecessary fines inflicted, nor outrageous and extreme punishments required. The court has ruled that penalties including lingering deaths are forbidden by this amendment, but not other forms of the main sentence. The 8th Amendment is necessary because it defends the individual from unreasonable bail or fines, and from evil and bizarre penalties.
