Answer 1

A) Attorney or B) Prosecutor

It could be both because in a criminal case, in common law jurisdictions, begins when a person suspected of a crime is indicted by a grand jury or otherwise:

Charged with the offense by a government official called a prosecutor or a district attorney.

Answer 2

I would say that D)Public Defender is the right answer
