Milagros Vasquez · Answer 2

The correct answer is D) Using a gun to threaten a store owner while you steal from him.

With your understanding of the underlying difference between a felony and a misdemeanor, the action that is a felony is "Using a gun to threaten a store owner while you steal from him."

In legal terms, when a person commits a misdemeanor means that it could end up in jail for30 days to one year, depending on the misdemeanor that is classified in type A, B, or C. But when an individual commits a felony, we are talking about a really big problem for the person because it is the most serious type of crime. The punishment for committing a felony in most states is more than one year in jail.
