I'm a student as well, but I ruled out C because it makes a sweeping generalization about all jurors when the author only talks about a mistake SOME jurors MAY make. A is the statement the author would be most likely to agree to because it gives us the most leeway ("evidence is presented to a jury MAY influence the jury").

Hi, the issue with b is that we just don't have enough to support the idea that the author thinks that. While we know that some kinds of photos can induce inferential error, such as particularly gory ones, we dont know that the author thinks this is generally true of all visual evidence.
