Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

The roman practised freedom of religion. Therefore, Jesus could not be crucified for a religious reason but a civil crime. The penalty had to be for sedition which is through speech inciting people to rebel against the state authority. The high priest had to make a case that Jesus was trying to convince the people to rebel against Rome by claiming to be the king of the Jews. In doing this, the Romans could convict Jesus to a civil crime of disturbing the peace.
