Solution

The correct option is D Prosecution
The prosecution has the burden of proof each component of an offence past a sensible doubt. Be that as it may, while a defendant isn't required to prove that he's not guilty so as to maintain a strategic distance from conviction.
Hence, D is the correct option.
