If trust in judiciary declines, toward which wrong path may people move for dispute resolution?

Toward pressure or violence instead of law

An independent and trusted judiciary gives people a peaceful, lawful method for settling disputes. The governing concept is the rule of law: disagreements should be resolved through evidence, legal procedures, and impartial decisions rather than through personal power. If citizens believe courts cannot provide fair or timely justice, some may lose faith in legal remedies and try to use threats, political influence, private force, or violence. Therefore option A identifies the dangerous wrong path. Options B and D are lawful responses that depend on confidence in the justice system, while option C may improve civic understanding but is not itself a dispute-resolution method. The question is about the social consequence of weakened judicial trust, not about a constitutional duty.
