An armed robber approaches a cashier, displays a firearm, and demands cash.

• A. Armed Robbery
• B. Domestic violence
• C. Loud music or noise disturbing
• D. Threat

Answer: (A)

The key idea is crime classification by the elements present. Robbery means taking property from someone through force or intimidation. When a weapon is involved or displayed, the offense is labeled as armed robbery. In this scenario, a cashier’s cash is being demanded and a firearm is shown, which satisfies both the act of taking property and the use of a weapon to intimidate. That makes it armed robbery. The other options don’t fit because they describe different situations: domestic violence involves violence within a domestic relationship, which isn’t indicated here; loud music or noise disturbing is a nuisance offense, unrelated to theft or threats; and a threat alone implies intimidation without taking property, but here cash is actually taken, so the stronger designation with a weapon applies.
