The Eighth Amendment (Amendment VIII) to the United States Constitution prohibites the federal government from imposing excessive bail, excessive fines, or cruel and unusual punishment.

Although you don't specify who inflicted the cruel and unusual punishment, option B. Amendment VIII, is the only answer related to the subject of the question.
