Extortion is described in the material as which of the following?

• A. Not a charge; the charge is grand larceny
• B. A standalone charge separate from larceny
• C. A charge that requires a weapon
• D. A non-criminal policy violation

Answer: (A)

Extortion, as described in the material, isn’t treated as its own separate charge. When someone uses threats to obtain property, the act is charged under grand larceny, not as a standalone extortion offense. So the best description is that extortion isn’t a separate charge; the charge filed is grand larceny. The other options don’t fit because extortion in this context does not require a weapon, isn’t a non-criminal policy violation, and isn’t charged as a separate standalone offense.
