Answer:

C). Inadmissible, because the report is hearsay not within any exception.

Explanation:

As per the given details, the court must find the report 'inadmissible, and the key reason is that the report is hearsay which does not come under any exception.' <u>The court is permitted to accept a report of witness' statement only if the statement is made under oath or witness himself/herself confirms the statement in the court and the court is satisfied that the statement is reliable</u>. The other options are incorrect as they either misrepresent the way in which statement was acquired(option D) or due to inappropriately taken(without oath) i.e. stated in option A. While option B is false as the public records cannot be considered as business records and thereby, not reliable. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
