"jury" - i believe is a singular collective noun. surprising to see that all the answer options have plural nouns (they or them).

nyways here r my thoughts -

"Lizzie Borden" is the object of the verb "acquitted". hence cannot be referred back by subject pronoun "who".
hence eliminate D n E.

C - "they saw was ......" - awkward contruction.

"regard as" is the correct idiom n hence IMO A.



Thanks!
