In an adversarial system, lawyers can impeach (challenge) a witness to weaken their credibility. One common way is to show the witness is biased or has something to gain — meaning they may not be telling the full truth.

Selected Answer: B
In adversarial legal systems, impeachment is a strategy used to challenge a witness’s credibility. One of the most effective ways to do this is by demonstrating that the witness may be biased or has a personal stake in the outcome of the case. This can cast doubt on the reliability or objectivity of their testimony.
