Explanation
The Frye Standard, established by the 1923 U.S. court case Frye v. United States, is the original legal precedent governing the admissibility of scientific evidence in court. It requires that a scientific technique be 'generally accepted' by the relevant scientific community to be admissible. The Daubert Standard (1993) later replaced Frye in federal courts with a broader judge-led test. The Frye Standard is specifically cited as the foundational legal precedent for scientific admissibility, which is why C is correct.
