Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After the plaintiff's case is presented, the defendant's attorney can either file a motion for a directed verdict or present the defendant's case. Therefore, options A and C are incorrect. Option D is also incorrect, as presenting the defendant's case is only one of the options available to the defendant's attorney. Option B is the best choice because it accurately states the available options for the defendant's attorney.
