  1. Any magazine holding more than 10 rounds

  2. Any magazine holding more than 15 rounds

  3. Any magazine holding more than 20 rounds

  4. Any magazine holding more than 30 rounds

The correct answer is: Any magazine holding more than 10 rounds

In Washington D.C., a 'high capacity magazine' is defined as any magazine holding more than 10 rounds. This definition is specific to the gun laws in Washington D.C. and is important for residents and gun owners to be aware of to ensure compliance with the law. It is crucial to remember this distinction to avoid any legal issues related to possession or use of high capacity magazines in the district. Regarding the other options: - Option B, holding more than 15 rounds, is incorrect as the threshold in D.C. is set at 10 rounds. - Option C, holding more than 20 rounds, is also incorrect as it exceeds the limit established in the law. - Option D, holding more than 30 rounds, is not the correct definition in Washington D.C. as the limit is set at 10 rounds for a high capacity magazine.
