C. A 12-year-old defendant in criminal court facing a charge carrying a maximum sentence of 9 months in prison.
D. 9-year-old defendant in juvenile court facing a charge carrying a maximum sentence of five years in a juvenile detention facility.
Answer:
The correct answer is C.
Anyone facing a criminal charge that has more than 6 months of in jail is entitled to a jury trial. Options A and B are not tried in criminal courts, that's why they are out of the question. Among options B and C, only C is facing the charge that is more than 6 months.
