Which of the following is NOT a standard of proof?

1. Clear and convincing

2. Probable cause

3. Preponderance of evidence

4. Reasonable doubt

The correct answer is: Reasonable doubt

Standard of proof refers to the level of certainty required for the burden of proof in a legal case. The higher the standard, the more evidence is required to prove something is true. Clear and convincing, probable cause, and preponderance of evidence are all standard of proof that require a certain level of evidence. Therefore, the correct answer is D as it is not a standard of proof used in legal proceedings.
