Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The statement says public trust depends on avoiding one-sided inquiries.
So it is implicit that one-sided inquiry harms the quality/trustworthiness of Supreme Court decisions.
It is also implicit that judicial independence requires decisions not to be based on one-sided inquiry.
Defamation is not stated or required.
