Answer 2

Answer:

B. Majority opinion

Explanation:

A majority opinion is the name that we use in law for a judicial opinion that is agreed to by more than half of the members of a court. Note, though, that not always you will have a majority opinion. When they call for a majority vote, though, it most likely means that they drastically disagree on the subject.

The majority opinion sets forth the decision of the court and with it, a an clarification of the line of thinking of the court.
