Answer: C.

Explanation: For a person to be convicted in a civil trial, the evidence must prove the person's guilt beyond a reasonable suspicion. This means that members of a jury must agree that the person is guilty of a criminal act. In a trial, a jury must believe that a person is guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt." This is a far higher burden of proof than "reasonable suspicion."
