Correct Option: D
The underlined phrase "seek redress" means to seek a remedy or compensation for a wrong or grievance.
- A. returns: This refers to giving something back or going back, which is not the meaning of seeking redress.
- B. appeal: This means to make a serious or urgent request, typically to the public. While related to a legal context, it is not the closest in meaning.
- C. judgement: This is a decision of a court or judge. This is the outcome of the legal process, not the act of seeking redress.
- D. compensation: This refers to something, typically money, awarded to someone as a recompense for loss, injury, or suffering. This aligns with the concept of correcting a wrong.
