A(n) _____ is an attorney's statement to the jury at the beginning of a trial in which the attorney briefly outlines the evidence that will be offered and the legal theory that the attorney will attempt to prove.

  1. Voir dire

  2. Opening statement

  3. Charge

  4. Challenge

The correct answer is: Opening statement

An opening statement is given at the beginning of a trial to set the stage for the evidence and arguments that will be presented to the jury. It is not related to voir dire, which is the process of selecting jurors. A charge is given by a judge, not an attorney. Lastly, a challenge is a method of objecting to something in a courtroom, not a statement given by an attorney. Therefore, the only correct option is B.
