Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Interrogatories are a pre-trial discovery tool in civil cases.
They are written questions sent by one party to the other party, who must respond under oath.
The goal is to gather evidence and facts before trial begins.
It applies to both parties — plaintiff or defendant. It is not restricted to one party (so Options B and C are wrong).
It also doesn't refer only to witnesses (Option D).
