The answer is A. Johnny has many of the same rights as adults to due process.

The 14th Amendment—not just for adults anymore. In the case of in re Gault, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that “neither the 14th Amendment nor the Bill of Rights is for adults alone.” That means the Constitutional rights of juvenile suspects are now protected, just as they are for legal adults.
