In a civil trial, a burden of proof that requires a preponderance of the evidence
means that the judge must:
A. rule in favor of the plaintiff if the requested damages are
reasonable.
B. rule in favor of whichever side is supported by an unbiased
mediator.
C. rule in favor of the defendant unless the plaintiff makes a very
strong case.
D. rule in favor of whichever side made the stronger argument.
