The correct answer is B. Nobles could choose their own juries at criminal trials. That meant that they could no longer be unjustly imprisoned if they opposed the king or anything similar. They would stand trial and the trial would be fair because they would choose the jury so the jury wouldn't be someone who would just look to harm them and get them out of the way.
