Question

○ represent himself
○ flee the state
○ remain silent
○ declare his guilt

Explanation:

In the case of Clarence Gideon's burglary trial, he was denied the right to an attorney and was forced to represent himself (pro se) because the court deemed his case (a non - capital offense at the time in Florida) did not qualify for court - appointed counsel. Fleeing the state, remaining silent, and declaring guilt were not what he was forced to do.

Answer:

A. represent himself
