Based on case precedent, if Lily attempts to take her appeals into a federal court, which of the following statements is true?

Lily Logan is a famous model. She is convicted of drug charges stemming from an incident where she was pulled over on suspicion of DUI and police found cocaine on her front seat. This conviction occurs in Lower Alabama (L.A.) County Court. After Lily is convicted, her lawyer prepares to file an appeal based on his perception that several of his client’s constitutional rights have been violated. Specifically, he feels that officers conducted an improper traffic stop in violation of the 4th Amendment; that there was an improperly obtained confession in violation of the 5th Amendment; and that his client’s 6th Amendment right to a speedy trial was also violated. He raised all of these issues at the trial. a. There is no federal question here; thus she cannot appeal to federal courts b. She must exhaust all state appeals before any federal appellate court will hear her case c. Her Fourth Amendment claim is likely to be barred from consideration as a result of Supreme Court precedent that limits that, but her 5th and 6th Amendment claims can be heard by federal courts d. All of her claims can be taken directly to federal appellate courts, regardless of whether they are heard first in state appellate courts and she can put forth multiple claims even if her initial federal appeals are rejected
