the answer is B took the test myself

Answer 2

Hello!

The Governor of the state is the only person who can grant stays, reprieves, pardons, and stays of execution.

If it were a Federal crime, then the President can do the same. On a state level though, the Governor handles it.

Hope this helps!! Any questions please just ask! Thank you so much!!
