Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": part of the doctrine of stare decisis.

Explanation:

Stare decisis is a practice in Law by which courts must follow similar past cases -called precedents- when making the final decision of the case they have in front. Those cases are typically complicated to rule out, then, Courts consider past similar decisions to adapt the previous criteria determined to their cases.
