I'm not sure, but I think C could also be a valid option if the witness is testifying from personal knowledge.

I think the answer is D, because it's important to show if the witness is biased.

Haha, I bet the lawyers on both sides are just itching to tear each other's witnesses apart. It's like a legal bloodsport sometimes!

I agree with Bernardo. Bias and self-interest can seriously undermine a witness's credibility, so D is the way to go.

Option D seems to be the right answer here. Showing that a witness is influenced by bias or self-interest is a classic way to impeach their testimony.
