This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.

Where would English soldiers and officials accused of serious crimes in Massachusetts stand trial?

A.) Massachusetts

B.) Quebec

C.) England

D.) New York

Answer: C.) England

Step-by-step explanation:

The Administration of Justice Act (1774) intended to guarantee a fair trial for British soldiers and officials who were charged for capital crimes while applying the law or suppressing rallies in Massachusetts Bay Colony.

The act authorized to move them to England or a different colony, in what many believed was a strategy to secure acquittals for the British soldiers and officials, and they, therefore, started referring to it as the “Murder Act.”
