A voir dire challenge to exclude a potential juror which requires that counsel supply a supporting reason or cause is called:

  1. A challenge

  2. A challenge for cause

  3. A peremptory challenge

  4. An objection

The correct answer is: A challenge for cause

A challenge for cause requires that counsel must give a valid reason or explanation for why a potential juror should be excluded. This is different from a peremptory challenge, which does not require a specific justification and can be used for any reason or no reason at all. An objection is a formal statement of disagreement with a ruling or procedure, but it is not the same as a challenge for cause. While all of these options involve challenging a potential juror, only option B specifically refers to the requirement of providing a supporting reason or cause.
