Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: A) a cross-examination

Explanation:

A cross-examination is an interrogation of a witness called by his opponent (opposing lawyer in a civil case or the District Attorney in a criminal case) during a trial. Since it happens during a trial, the witness must be under oath and both the witness´ answers and the lawyer´s questions must be recorded by a court official.
