Answer: D) Restitution

Step-by-step explanation:

Restitution refers to acts that are aimed at returning something back to its owners or in this case, back to its original form.

The offender cleaning up her own graffiti and other acts of vandalism are aimed at restoring the vandalised objects back to their original form. This is therefore a form of restitution.
