To ensure a fair and impartial jury in a federal case, the jury members must come from the state or district where the crime took place.

The answer would be A. Jury members are not required to move (which could anger them and influence the case) and are not required to come from the state/district where the accused was born (which could increase the chance that they know the accused personally). Not every defendant is given a bench trial.
