B. uninformed

C. experienced

D. careless

B. Uninformed.

Explanation:

The commonlit text "Gault Case Changed Juvenile Law" details the interview of Jerry Gault and his 'juvenile' experience as a convict without being provided due process. The text contains interviews by Margot Adler and those related to the Gault case, including the now-grown man Jerry Gault himself discussing the condition of juvenile justice in America.

According to Gault, when he was arrested for "lewd phone call", he wasn't even aware of what was happening. As he was just 14 years old, a juvenile according to the law, he was not treated like a legal adult convict was supposed to be. Moreover, he revealed that at the time of his arrest and before his appearance before a judge, he wasn't provided a lawyer nor met his parents. His admission that he "didn't know" what was happening revealed that he was uninformed about any of the happenings.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
