a. expanded rights to all english citizens
b. trial by jury of peers
c. a step toward providing nobles with legislative authority
d. king's power expanded

One of the provisions of the Magna Carta was the right to a trial by jury of peers (OPTION B). It was stated in Chapter 39:

"No free man is to be arrested or imprisoned, or disseised, or outlawed, or exiled, or in any other way ruined, nor will we go against him or send against him, except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land."

The provision aimed to enact a more fair sentence by delegating part of the king's judicial authority to men who were peers of the person on trial.

Nowadays, the right to a trial by jury is one of the basic safeguards of freedom from arbitrary government and it's established in most democratic governments.
