Option C is correct.

Explanation:

Six members are simply not enough to include a wide community or to represent each group within it.

However, research has been made on the difference between a 12 or 6 member jury, and its impact on the final verdict, and it hasn't been noticed any impact in the final result. Although not all the diversity of a community is present in the jury, this can still reach a fair decision.
