Answer:

<h3>Option D, Laches.</h3>

Explanation:

Latches is the legal practice that does not allow a legal right or claim to be enforced or allowed if there has been a long delay in asserting the right or claim of that particular case.

This is done because some cases or claims which could've solved years back is being delayed to maximize the consequence of the defendant.

For instance, Bill decides not to file a case against Bart for property line encroachment but waits for few years until Bart builds a new house on that land which has Bill's name on it.
