I think it's (B) or (D)

is it (B)
Right!
Thank you!!!!
You're welcome.
You're on the right track! A concurring opinion is indeed delivered when a justice agrees with the majority's decision in a case, but has a different rationale or reasoning for reaching that decision. This means that option (B) is correct.
On the other hand, option (D) does not fully capture the definition of a concurring opinion. A concurring opinion does not necessarily require the agreement of at least two justices but less than a majority. It can be written by a single justice who wants to express their own viewpoint or provide additional legal analysis.
So, the correct answer is (B) - a concurring opinion is delivered when a justice agrees with the majority's decision in a case, but has a different reason for reaching that decision.
