Answer 2

B. The defendant was convicted of a felony.

Step-by-step explanation:

defendant - an individual/company sued or accused in court of law

convicted - having been declared guilty of a criminal offence by the verdict of a jury or the decision of a judge. ( was declared guilty therefore was charged)

felony - a crime regarded in the US and many other judicial systems as more serious than a misdemeanour.

(misdemeanour - a minor wrongdoing.)

but stealing $100 000 is regarded as a felony.
