Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The person least likely to commit a violent crime is Sam, who has been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. People with anxiety disorders are generally not prone to violence as anxiety can inhibit aggressive behavior. On the other hand, Jessica has a history of violence, Brandon has access to a loaded gun and is angry, and John is intoxicated, all of which increase the likelihood of committing a violent crime.
