The correct answer is the following: option D. Treason is a federal crime that only be committed during wartime. Treason against the United States is declared in Article II of the Constitution, where it is states that treason consists in levying war against the country or in adhering to their enemies, by helping them in any way. It also states that is the Congress of the Nation the power that will declare the punishment in the case of treason.
