Correct Answer: to pay heavily


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

In this context, heavy is an adjective, and it should be replaced with the adverb heavily to modify the verb pay correctly. Adverbs are used to describe how an action is performed, and in this case, heavily is the appropriate adverb to convey the manner in which the payment for crimes is made.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: You will have to pay heavily for your crimes.
