Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Federal courts are mandated by the U.S. Constitution to provide a grand jury for felony charges, a 12-member trial jury, and a unanimous verdict for criminal convictions. State courts, however, have more flexibility and are not uniformly bound by these requirements, with some states allowing non-unanimous verdicts or smaller juries in certain cases.
