Answer:

c. Plaintiff

Step-by-step explanation:

Plaintiff is the person or business that takes a lawsuit to court. It is the offended party that moves to court with a complaint against another party. In some instances, like in a civil case, the plaintiff is known as the complainant.

In this case, Amalia is the plaintiff. She has a complaint against Francine, who is the defendant. Plaintiff being the aggrieved party initiates the court process to seek legal redress.
