Solution

The correct option is A Convicted
The word 'acquitted' means to free (someone) from a criminal charge by a verdict of not guilty and 'convicted' means to be declared guilty of a criminal offense by the verdict of a jury or the decision of a judge. Thus we can conclude that the opposite of acquitted is convicted. A is the correct answer.
