Correct answer choice is :


C) Established unclear standards for applying the death penalty.

Step-by-step explanation:

The United States Supreme Court reversed Furman's performance. The court in Furman v. Georgia asserted that except a uniform method of defining who is qualified for capital discipline endures, the death penalty will be considered as cruel and extreme punishment.
