The correct answer is D. In a civil case, the plaintiff and defendant would try to reach a settlement prior to the trial because trials can be expensive and time consuming.

Explanation:

Usually, pre-judicial settlements are the preferred way for lawyers, defendants and plaintiffs to resolve civil law conflicts.

This is so because, if an agreement is not reached and a trial is initiated before the judiciary, the costs to move forward with the process are much greater, the time for debate is very long, and the time of collection of the winner can be delayed if there are appeals or other contingencies.

On the other hand, extrajudicial arrangements do not require costs more than those expenses incurred in the negotiation, and it is a much faster method, since the contact between the parties is direct and not in court.
