Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unanimous decisions are the most common because it means that all of the justices agreed on the decision. 8-1 splits with a lone dissenter are less common than 5-4 splits because they still have a majority agreement but with only one justice disagreeing, which can indicate a less contentious issue. Thus, choice C is the best option.
