The correct answer is B) the law is followed in trying a case.

In the term "due process,” the word "process” refers to the way in which the law is followed in trying a case.

We can understand the legal term "due process" as the legal procedures established according to the right principles and conducts. Every procedure has to assure that the accused will have a fair trial in court. Due process guaranteed that the accused won't be punished without first having an adequate legal procedure. It will recieve an advance notification in time to be present, express with liberty, defend himself and have legal counsel.
