Explanation:

- The sentence requires an article before the word "crime." Articles in English are used to indicate specificity or generality of the noun.

- Option 1: "an" - Used before words starting with a vowel sound. Not suitable as "crime" starts with a consonant sound.

- Option 2: "many" - This is used before plural nouns. "Crime" is singular, so this is unsuitable.

- Option 3: "a" - Correct choice here. It's used as an indefinite article before a singular noun starting with a consonant sound. This fits perfectly with "crime."

- Option 4: "much" - Typically used with uncountable nouns. "Crime" is countable in this context, making it unsuitable.
