Answer:

Mary is unable to convince the court of her claims, and she is accused of witchcraft and taken to jail.

Step-by-step explanation:

None of the options is entirely accurate. After Mary Warren tries to tell the court that she and the girls are lying in Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible":

Abigail and the other girls turn on Mary and accuse her of being a witch.

Mary is unable to convince the court of her claims, and she is accused of witchcraft and taken to jail.

The court does not believe Mary's testimony, and they continue to believe the accusations made by the girls, including Abigail.

Therefore, the correct option would be:

Mary is unable to convince the court of her claims, and she is accused of witchcraft and taken to jail
