Respuesta :

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Answer:

Option A, the crime happens in the presence of the victim

Explanation:

In Robbery,  a person is looted by using force/fear. Also the use of arms or ammunition such as gun, pistol, knife etc. is done to threaten the victim. Thus, the person who is being robbed is present at the crime scene but due to fear he/she could no do anything.

While in case of larceny, the crime is never committed in presence of the victim. Also no force is used to hurt the victim.  for example - snatching of chain, pick pocketing etc.

Hence, option A is correct.
