Daubert ruiling, is a rule of evidence regarding the admissibility of expert witnesses' testimony. The expert in your scenario is not a witness.

Miranda Rights, is the right that you have to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney.

Ballistics rule, has to do with the calculations of the optimum rate of twist for a given bullet.

A. Frye standard is the general acceptance test is a test to determine the admissibility of scientific evidence.

Update: B. Is the answer!
