The answer is B. Good question though. This is exactly why people must be tested and evaluated prior to trial if they have commited a terrible crime or have stated they may use this as a defense.

B. He/She must understand what is going on. If "cured" later, then the trial can proceed.

I think it's B because he can't aid in his own defense.

I can't tell you from experience, but I'd say B.
