C

Explanation:

The classical school of thought process proposes that people have free will to do whatever they want, however if there are punishments put in place for such decisions (such as jail time for crimes committed), then people will be deterred from making those sorts of decisions.

Option C states that he made a rational choice to commit a crime, and he deserves a punishment that deters him from doing so in the future. This supports the classical school of thought process.
