The correct answer is C

The necessary condition for an accused person to be found guilty by a jury is that all the jury must unanimously agree that the defendant is guilty of the crime the plaintiff has reported. The jury, made of private citizens is heralded as mostly unbiased and able to make a wise decision if it agrees unanimously.
