Answer:

(c) appellant

Step-by-step explanation:

An appellant party is somebody who applies to a higher court to request the court to reexamine the decision that is made by a lower court. A litigant must show that he has adequate justification for a request, which are normally characterized by the resolution, so as to challenge a judgment.

So option (c) is the correct option
