Explanation

The correct option is A: Things done.

Res gestae is a Latin term that means "things done" or "deeds". It is used in law to refer to the facts that form the environment of a litigated issue and are admissible in evidence.

For example, the statements or actions of a witness or a participant that are closely connected to the main event or crime can be considered as res gestae. Res gestae is also a doctrine that allows certain exceptions to the hearsay rule for statements that are spontaneous, excited, or related to the mental or physical state of a person.
