Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The usual order is examination-in-chief, cross-examination and then re-examination. The calling party first presents the witness's evidence, the adverse party may test it, and the calling party may then clarify matters raised in cross-examination. Section 143 also allows further cross-examination if new matter is introduced during re-examination with permission.
