I think the right answer is D.

Charlie Mcintyre · Answer 2

The correct answer is "D.) He has no option; the verdict is final". The appeal is used against the decision of the court or when the sentence is considered too harsh. When the case is about a crime, the person is not allowed to appeal, unless the verdict is guilty. If the defendant is found not guilty, the verdict is final. The plaintiff has no other option than to accept the jury decision.
