Pack sued Donlon for slander, alleging that Donlon had publicly accused Pack of being a thief. In his answer, Donlon admitted making the accusation, but alleged that it was a true statement. At trial, Donlon offers evidence that Pack stole a ring worth $ 10,000$ from a jewelry store. Evidence concerning this theft should be:
A. Admitted, because specific instances of conduct may be proved when character is directly in issue.
B. Admitted, because Pack's actions constituted a felony.
C. Excluded, because character must be shown by reputation or opinion.
D. Excluded, because its relevance is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice.
