Answer
A
threatening to use a weapon in a robbery
B
accidentally killing a person after kidnapping him or her
C
murdering another person in cold blood
D
shoplifting expensive items from a store
E
committing treason against the government
F
destroying someone’s property or possessions

Explanation

Capital crimes are especially serious offenses that may be punishable by death. Murdering someone in cold blood and committing treason are examples; a death caused during a kidnapping can also qualify as a capital crime, even if the killing was accidental. Threatening someone during a robbery, shoplifting, and damaging property are not capital crimes by themselves.
