Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The felony murder rule is applied when a death occurs during the commission of a felony, even if the death was unintentional. Therefore, Option B fits the description of when the felony murder rule is applied. Option A is not entirely accurate because the rule is not applied to the death of the felon but rather to the death of another person during the commission of a felony. Option C is incorrect because involuntary manslaughter is distinct from the felony murder rule. And Option D may involve murder, but not necessarily during the commission of a felony, so it is not a clear fit for the felony murder rule.
