Solution

The correct option is A State decisis
Stare decisis.
It is a Latin legal maxim which means 'to stand by'. Stare decisis is a lawful regulation that commits courts to follow authentic situations when making a decision on a comparative case. State decisis guarantees that cases with comparable situations and actualities are drawn closer similarly. Basically, it ties courts to follow lawful points of reference set by past decisions.
