What type of offence allows the crown to choose how to proceed to trial?

Indictable offence
Summary offence
Hybrid (dual) offence
Procedural offence

The correct answer is: Hybrid (dual) offence

A Indictable offences are more serious crimes that require a jury and a higher level of evidence. This is incorrect because in these cases, the crown does not have the option to choose how to proceed to trial. B: Summary offences are less serious crimes that have a lower maximum penalty and are usually heard by a judge, without a jury. However, the crown does not have the option to choose how to proceed to trial for summary offences. D: There is no such thing as a "procedural offence." This is incorrect because these types of offences do not involve the decision of the crown on how to proceed to trial.
