Answer 1

Two litigants in a case can agree to a settlement anytime before the verdict. Option C is correct.

So, tu put it simply, both the person who sues and the person who gets sued are both litigants.

Answer 2

Two litigants in a case can reach an agreement to settle a matter in question before the Court pronounces the verdict (the correct option is "C"). This agreement is known as an out-of-court settlement which is a compromise between both parts with the purpose of solving the litigation of a previously existing claim.
