Answer:

The correct answer is C) Drug Offences

Step-by-step explanation:

In the United States, most offenders that are held in Federal intuitions such as prisons, are convicted of Drug offences.

This is a broad term and can encompass people who have been caught in possession of drugs, of smuggling them or selling them etc.
