Section 10 (b) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees individuals the right to retain and instruct council without delay upon arrest or detention. This means that individuals have the right to have a lawyer present to provide legal advice and representation as soon as possible after they are arrested or detained. Option B is incorrect because it pertains to the right to a trial and is covered under section 11 (b) of the Charter. Option C is also incorrect because it pertains to the right to reasonable bail and is covered under section 11 (e) of the Charter. Option D is incorrect because section 10 (b) clearly outlines the right to counsel, making it a valid answer.
