Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
In a summary jury trial, the jury is presented with the facts of the case and provides an advisory verdict, which is non-binding. This helps parties get a sense of how a real trial might play out and may encourage settlement negotiations. The other options listed involve different types of alternative dispute resolution processes where a neutral third party facilitates the resolution of a dispute, rather than a jury providing an advisory verdict.
