Solution

failed
failed

The answer is the totality of the circumstances must lead a reasonable person to believe that the suspect committed the crime.

Explanation
Option 1: there must be reasonable suspicion

Reasonable suspicion is a lower standard than what is required for an arrest. It is sufficient for a stop and frisk but not for an arrest.

Option 2: the totality of the circumstances must lead a reasonable person to believe that the suspect committed the crime

This is the correct standard for an arrest. It is known as "probable cause," which means that, based on the totality of the circumstances, a reasonable person would believe that the suspect has committed a crime.

Option 3: none of these are correct

This option is incorrect because option 2 is correct.

Option 4: the suspect must be suspected of committing the crime beyond a reasonable doubt

Beyond a reasonable doubt is the standard required for a conviction in a criminal trial, not for an arrest.
