C Correct answer
Explanation

Under Islamic Sharia law as practiced in Saudi Arabia, amputation of the hand is the prescribed punishment for theft (hudud punishment). This is based on Quranic injunctions. The other options listed - 1000 whip lashes, stoning, and removal of an eye - are not the standard punishment for theft (stoning is typically for adultery, eye removal is qisas retaliation).
