Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "C": summary judgement.

Step-by-step explanation:

A summary judgment is a decision taken by a court over a case for the benefit of one of the parties. The decision is taken prematurely because of the merits or issues inherent in the claim. The summary judgment is considered the final decision on the case if it provides a reasonable resolution for all the parties.
