b

Explanation:

A bench trial is a trial by judge, as opposed to a jury trial. When a defendant waives the right to a jury trial, they are choosing a bench trial. A free trial is not a legal term in this context. An appeal is a request to a higher court to review a lower court's decision. A mistrial is a trial that is terminated prematurely and declared invalid.

Answer:

B. bench trial
