Answer 1

The correct option is: a motion to dismiss

Step-by-step explanation:

Motion to dismiss is described as the request of one of the party to the court for the dismissal of the lawsuit or case. This is used when the claim stated by the other party is true or valid but not liable i.e. the law does not offer a judicial relief or remedy for the claim.

It can also be used in case of voluntary withdrawal or settlement.

Therefore, the given situation is an example of a motion to dismiss.
