Answer:

c. High treason

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three basic classifications of criminal offenses: Infractions, misdemeanors, and felonies.

Each of these is separated according to the severity of the crime that as committed.

Infractions are petty crimes that are minor criminal offenses, such as running a stop sign.

A misdemeanor is median criminal offenses that are more severe than a simple infraction, for example, harassment or vandalism.

A Felony is the highest level of criminal offense and has the most severe penalties, for example, murder and others.
