A and D

Explanation:

The deposition has two purposes: To find out what the witness knows and to preserve that witness' testimony. The intent is to allow the parties to learn all of the facts before the trial, so that no one is surprised once that witness is on the stand.

A deposition is essentially an interview where you answer questions from your lawyer as well as the opposing side's attorney ... A deposition happens during the discovery phase of a lawsuit, not during the trial. It will not take place in a courtroom. Instead, it often takes place at one of the attorney's offices.
