The term "waiver" refers to the transfer of a juvenile case from juvenile court to criminal court. In the prosecutorial waiver, the decision to transfer the case to criminal court is made by the prosecutor, whereas in a judicial waiver, the decision is made by a judge, and in a legislative waiver, it is made by the law. Formal waiver refers to a court hearing in which the juvenile decides to be tried as an adult. Therefore, among the given options, prosecutorial waiver is the one that clearly suggests that it is up to the prosecutor to decide whether to file the case in the juvenile court or in the criminal court.
