  • B. Malaysia
  • C. United State
  • D. Finland

Correct Answer: B. Malaysia

Malaysia`s parliament on April 3, 2023, passed sweeping legal reforms to remove the mandatory death penalty, trim the number of offenses punishable by death, and abolish natural-life prison sentences, a move cautiously welcomed by rights groups. Malaysia has had a moratorium on executions since 2018 when it first promised to abolish capital punishment entirely.
