What is an example of a federal crime?

Tax evasion
Speeding
Larceny
Burglary

The correct answer is: Tax evasion

Tax evasion is an example of a federal crime because it involves intentionally not paying taxes to the federal government. This is a federal crime because the federal government is responsible for collecting taxes and enforcing tax laws. Options B, C, and D are all examples of state crimes because they violate state laws, not federal laws. Speeding is a violation of traffic laws which are enforced by state police. Larceny is a theft offense which is prosecuted by state authorities. Burglary is another example of a state crime because it involves breaking into and stealing from a building, which is typically prosecuted by local law enforcement.
