Which option describes the charge of lewd or lascivious acts with a child?

• A. Harassment
• B. Indecent exposure
• C. Lewd or lascivious acts with a child
• D. Attempted rape

Answer: (C)

This item tests recognizing a specific criminal charge that involves engaging in sexual acts with someone who is legally a child. The phrase describes performing sexual actions with a minor, which is illegal and treated as a distinct offense regardless of the minor’s consent. This sets it apart from harassment, which is a broader conduct category not limited to sexual acts with a child; indecent exposure, which involves exposing oneself rather than performing acts on another person; and attempted rape, which is about trying to commit rape rather than completing sexual acts with a child. Therefore, the option that names this exact charge is the best choice.
