Answer:

C) Being accused of a crime that they did not commit.

Step-by-step explanation:

By "pointing a finger" at someone, you are accusing someone of something that is wrong, in this case it would be a crime. According to the text, if they couldn't prove their accusation to the judges, that would mean the one that they accused did not commit it in the first place.

Hope that helped you! ^^
