Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

In Georgia, when a juvenile is found to have committed an offense, he or she is legally classified as an "adjudicated delinquent." In Georgia, a juvenile is a person who is 17 years of age or younger. As such, a juvenile is usually subjected to slightly different processes when being held accountable in a court of law for their actions.
