state legislature
c.
trial courts
b.
state governor

Congress

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Trial courts.

The state legislature, state governor, and Congress have very little influence on the court system. These groups and individual are in charge of making laws on the state and national level. They have no ability to set bails in court cases. That is why trial courts is the correct answer.
