Correct Answer: through
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Looked through is an idiomatic expression. When someone "looks through" another person, it means that he sees beyond the surface or appearance and discerns the person's true motives or intentions, and in this context, it means that the judge saw beyond the convict's attempts to justify himself and was able to perceive that the convict was, in fact, guilty.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The convict tried his level best to justify himself, but the judge looked through him and found him guilty."
