A

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. According to the United States Supreme Court in the case of Miles vs. United States...."The evidence upon which a jury is justified in returning a verdict of guilty must be sufficient to produce a conviction of guilt, to the exclusion of all reasonable doubt." Which means to produce a conviction of guilt, there must be no doubt that the person being convicted is guilty.
