Explanation
Answer: C - The Delaware court of chancery. The names of courts are capitalized if using the formal name of the court or a shortened version (e.g., the “Supreme Court” for the “United States Supreme Court”). Answer C is the correct choice because “Delaware Court of Chancery” is the formal name of a Delaware court, but “court of chancery” is not capitalized. Answers A and B are not the correct choice because they both use the full name of the court and are capitalized. Answer D is not the correct choice because “criminal court” is used as a generic term and capitalization is not needed.
