Solution

The correct option is

C Defence Lawyer

A defence lawyer is an attorney who represents an accused party in legal matters, including in a court of law. The accused party is known as the defendant. Many defence attorneys start out as prosecutors for the state. The prosecutor is there as an agent of the state, acting in the interest of the victim, but not representing them directly.
