Answer

D

Explanation

The question is asking which piece of evidence evidence does not support the claim that the death penalty is cruel, expensive, and does not deter criminal activity. Option A supports the claim by stating that the death penalty is a form of cruel and unusual punishment. Option B supports the claim by stating that it is expensive to execute a person. Option C supports the claim by stating that the death penalty does not deter criminal activity. However, option D, which states that the death penalty was first established in the 18th century BC by King Hammurabi of Babylon, does not provide support for the claim. It is a historical fact and does not address the aspects of cruelty, expense, or deterrence. Therefore, the answer is D.
