Answer 1

Answer 2

C: It is a rule of the court that a lawyer may not argue with someone during questioning.

Step-by-step explanation:

I feel like this is the correct answer because O'Brien objected to the question, and Petrocelli agreed with O'Brien. I feel like this is what is happening because Petrocelli withdrew that question and re-phrased it into a question that wasn't trying to lead Mr. Harmon into an argument.
