Haha, the government doesn't have to prove the defendant knew the identity of every single participant. That's just ridiculous! Option A is the way to go.

No way, the defendant doesn't need to know all the details or objectives. That's just too high of a bar for the government to meet. I'm going with Option A.

Hmm, I thought the government had to prove that the conspiracy was actually successful. Option B seems more logical to me.

I'm not sure, but option C also makes sense. It says that the defendant knew all the details or objectives of the conspiracy.

I agree with you, option B seems more logical. It states that the conspirators accomplished the purpose of the conspiracy that was initially established.
