Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A defendant who loses at trial has the right to appeal the case to a higher court to seek a review of the trial court's decision for errors in how the law was applied or other issues. Appeals are not made to lower courts, and suing the judge is not a standard or appropriate response to losing a case.
