Which archetype does Captain Kidd represent?

A. a thief

B. a bandit

C. a buccaneer

D. a commander

The answer is buccaneer or letter C. Although he did engage in some pirate activities, Kid was actually a buccaneer or privateer. This means that he was sanctioned by government to assault enemy ships and capture them as prizes. Historically his exploits as a pirate were exaggerated and he was wrongfully executed for crimes of piracy.
