The responses here are clearly about all the linguistic terms and must be sorted out holistically.

Option A - CORRECT
Since the original statement appears in the past tense format then the corresponding response must take the form. i.e it must be consistent in all ramifications . Note the keywords here "doubted and and had" .

Option B - INCORRECT
The logic behind the statement here is such that it's based on a present continuous tense format which is in contrast with the tone of the original content which suggests that it is in the past tense

Option C - INCORRECT
This is a matter of KISS which means keep it short and simple. it's logically correct but grammatically cumbersome. could have been said in a simpler way.

Option D - INCORRECT
The whole statement has personified the jury as the one being talked about in the writ-up. its wrong and incorrect assertion altogether.

Option E - INCORRECT
Its a reported speech instead
of explaining what exactly transpired within the courtroom its rather being reported about the jury views and decisions.
