Answer:

The answer is letter a, minor theft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Felony refers to a serious crime that is committed by a person or a group of people. It is punishable by imprisonment and is distinguished from a misdemeanor.

Among the choices above, "minor theft" is a criminal act that cannot be considered a felony, unless the amount of property or goods stolen reaches at least $500. Most of the time, minor theft is only a misdemeanor. An example of this is a person stealing a deodorant that costs $3. This cannot be categorized as felony.

The other choices (larceny, r.a.p.e and arson) are big offenses that are considered as felony.

Thus, this explains the answer.
