Question

When a charge is dropped from a felony to a misdemeanor, which type of plea bargain has happened? Can't find the answer anywhereee

Answer 1

This looks like somewhere in your text there is a list of different types of plea bargains. There is no "official" list so your class is making its own distinctions.
The example you cite is probably a lack of evidence. They might have had a hard time making a case for the felony in court, so prosecutors settled for a guilty plea to the misdemeanor.
But without more information, I'm making a guess.
