Answer:

C. conduct a jury poll to check if the decision was unanimous.

Explanation:

The Jury Deliberation and Verdict are the last phase of a criminal trial process.

First the jurors go through the facts and accusations and discuss it trying to get an agreement view about the guilty or innocence of the defendant regarding the crime that his has been charged, this moment is the "deliberation”.

The jurors must decide if the defendant is "guilty" or "not guilty", some states demand a unanimous verdict, in this moment a poll can be conducted by the foreperson, if it is not unanimous the case can be dismissed due to “mistrial”.
