B
A defendant can NEVER be FORCED to plead guilty. That is the difference between B and D.

As I understand it… none of the above. A plea bargain agreement is an attempt by both Defense and Prosecution to convince the Defendant to plea… usually to a lesser charge… in order to avoid timely and costly court time and resources. Also, again as I understand it, the Judge in the case is NOT required or obligated to accept the plea, it’s merely a recommendation by both the Defense and the Prosecution.

B and D. It aslo helps with the prosecutions record. I would like to know how many innocent people have plead guilty just to make the charges go away?

Only B & D are definitely true. Don't know about C. A is doubtful.
