• A. Hear the other side
• B. In good faith
• C. In fact
• D. In law

Answer 1

The correct option is C In fact

In law, de facto means "in fact". It describes practices that exist in reality, even if not legally recognised by official laws. It is commonly used to refer to what happens in practice. In contrast with de jure ("in law"), which refers to things that happen according to law. Unofficial customs that are widely accepted are sometimes called de facto standards.
