Answer 1

Answer: b. "You don’t get headaches often, do you?"

Explanation:

A leading question can be defined as a question which suggests a particular answer and looking for the information that the examiner is looking to confirm for the case.

The leading question must be answered with either yes or no. The quality of the leading question generally depends upon the relationship of the witness with the party asking the question.

An examiner asks the leading questions from the hostile witness but not in direct examination.

"You don’t get headaches often, do you?" is the leading question as it can be answered in yes or no and to check the correctness of the oral evidences provided by the witness or accused.
