Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement refers to an offense that is classified into degrees, depending on factors such as the use of force, injury inflicted, and vulnerability of the victim. This aligns with the definition of robbery, which is the unlawful taking of someone's property through the use of force or intimidation. Stalking and extortion do not involve the use of force in the same way, and there is no indication that the statement is referring to them. Therefore, the best choice is C) robbery.
