Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

A witness's examination by the adverse party is cross-examination. Examination-in-chief is conducted by the party who calls the witness, while re-examination is conducted by that party after cross-examination. The distinction depends on who examines the witness and the stage of examination, rather than on whether a particular question is difficult or hostile.
