The answer is D - In the United States, the criminal justice system is an adversary system.

Explanation:

The adversary system is a legal system in which a parties' position is represented by two advocates who develop and present their argument, gather and submit evidence, call and question witnesses in the presence of a group of people (usually a jury) or an impartial person (a judge) who strive to determine the truth of the case. Legal disputes in the United states are settled with the use of the adversary system. The criminal justice system in the United States is an adversary system because it is fair and less prone to abuse.
