Explanation:
An ex-parte decree is a legal judgment or decree that is passed by the court in favor of one party (usually the plaintiff) when the other party (the defendant) is absent or fails to appear in court. In an ex-parte proceeding, the court proceeds with the case and makes a decision in the absence of the defendant or their legal representative (pleader). Option C accurately describes the nature of an ex-parte decree.
