Answer: Option D

Explanation:

A writ of certiorari is a legal document mostly written by a losing side / party over a case they have lost. It is written to the appealed court to tend the case to the supreme court for further hearing. The reason why this kind of document is written it for more information to be known about the case. The word certiorari comes from a Latin word meaning " to be informed fully" about a case.
