Answer: Peremptory challenges on the basis of gender were impermissible (choice 3).
Explanation: In JEB v. Alabama ex rel. T.B., 511 U.S. 127 (1994), the Court held that using peremptory strikes to remove jurors because of their sex violates the Equal Protection principle embodied in Batson v. Kentucky. The decision extended Batson’s rule (which prohibited race-based strikes) to gender-based strikes. It was not decided under the Confrontation Clause or because of secret proceedings.
