Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B: if Hannah presented no substantial evidence to the extent that reasonable people could not different as to the outcome

Explanation:

In a case where Hannah has already been awarded $5 million against Batlock. Hence filing a motion for summary judgment is possible if the evidence presented by Hannah is not enough to conclude on the case. In law, filing a summary judgement is simply asking the court to make a decision on the substantial ability of the available evidence.
