For which crime in Texas is life imprisonment or the death penalty a possible punishment?

  1. 3rd Degree Felony

  2. 1st Degree Felony

  3. Capital Felony

  4. 2nd Degree Felony

The correct answer is: Capital Felony

In Texas, a Capital Felony is the most serious offense, carrying the punishment of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole or the death penalty. This distinguishes it from the other felony degrees listed in the question. Third-degree felonies are punishable by 2 to 10 years in prison, while second-degree felonies carry a punishment range of 2 to 20 years in prison. First-degree felonies are less severe than capital felonies and are punishable by 5 to 99 years in prison. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
