The passenger was charged with violating a criminal ordinance that prohibited entry on private property without the permission of the owner. Her best defense to criminal responsibility would be
 
  a. that she too was mistaken about the ownership of the property as ignorance of the law is usually a viable defense to criminal liability.
  b. the coercion defense because she could not jump out of the car without injury.
  c. that she committed no overt act (actus reus) as her act of entering was not voluntary because she was a passenger.
  d. None of the above is true.
