  2. 15 rounds

  3. 20 rounds

  4. No limit

The correct answer is: 10 rounds

Under D.C. law, the correct answer is A. 10 rounds. In the District of Columbia, it is illegal to possess a magazine that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. This restriction is part of the firearms regulations in D.C. aimed at promoting public safety by limiting the capacity of firearms. It is essential for individuals in possession of firearms in D.C. to be aware of and comply with this restriction to avoid legal issues. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they exceed the maximum capacity allowed by D.C. law. It is crucial to follow the specific laws and regulations of the jurisdiction you are in regarding firearms to ensure compliance and safety.
