Cevap
The correct answer is that the citizen must attend the court and serve on the jury if they are selected.
The correct answer accurately describes jury service as a mandatory legal requirement. In Australia, citizens are randomly selected from the electoral roll and, unless they have a valid legal exemption, they are required to attend court and participate in the jury process if selected for a trial.
