Explanation
The correct answer is A: Versus.
The symbol (v.) in case names stands for "versus". It is used to indicate that the case is a dispute between two parties. For example, in the case of "Smith v. Jones", Smith and Jones are the parties in the dispute.
The use of "v." is common in common law countries, including India, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In civil law countries, the symbol used is usually "c." for "contre" in French, which means "against".
It is important to note that the use of "v." in a case name does not necessarily mean that the parties are opposed to each other in an adversarial sense. It simply indicates that there is a dispute or disagreement between the parties that needs to be resolved by a court of law.
