b. Beyond reasonable doubt standard for finding of guilt.
Explanation: The beyond-a-reasonable-doubt standard is a universal requirement for criminal convictions under due process (see In re Winship). The others vary by jurisdiction: grand juries are required federally for indictments but not universally for states, preliminary-hearing procedures differ across systems, and crime definitions are set by each jurisdiction's laws.
