Which offense involves threat or use of force?

• A. Larceny
• B. Burglary
• C. Robbery
• D. Arson

Answer: (C)

Robbery is defined by taking property from another person or in their immediate presence by force or by putting the victim in fear of imminent harm. The crucial element is the use of force or intimidation to obtain the property, which sets robbery apart from other theft-related offenses. Larceny involves taking property without force or fear, burglary centers on unlawful entry with intent to commit a crime inside (not necessarily against a person), and arson is the intentional burning of property. Because the defining feature is threat or use of force during the property-taking act, robbery is the correct choice.
