Solution

The correct option is B prosecution
The burden to prove the blame of the accused lies on the prosecution. The respondent has a protected right to a jury procedure in most criminal issues. The defendant has no pressure but if prosecution proves the offence than case can be filed and accused can be punished.
Hence, B is the correct option.
