Answer 1

Attorneys narrow the jury pool through the voir dire process.

Reason: Voir dire is the questioning of potential jurors by the judge and attorneys to uncover biases and allow challenges, which narrows the pool. The other options describe later trial steps (foreperson selection, deliberation/verdict) or incorrectly assign bias screening to court clerks.
