Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Amnesty International, as of 2021, most countries (over two-thirds) have abolished the death penalty in law or practice. Only a minority of countries still use it, with the majority being in Asia and the Middle East. No country in Europe still practices the death penalty (choice C is incorrect). The decision to abolish or retain the death penalty is not dependent on the national government type, so choice D is also incorrect.
