Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Jury nullification is about jurors ignoring law to acquit, not for deadlocks.
• Reconciliation is for conflicts in relationships, not jury deadlocks.
• Shotgun instructions (also called Allen charges) are given to deadlocked juries to encourage them to reach a verdict, making this a solution.
• Larger juries don't directly solve deadlock; they affect verdict representativeness.

Answer:

C. Shotgun instructions
