C Correct answer
Explanation

Crude means rough, unrefined, or lacking skill - exactly what detectives would call an amateurish burglary. Cute means cunning, cussed means stubborn, crucial means critical, and crummy means lousy. The combination 'crude and amateurish' reinforces that the work was unskilled.
