Answer
A: Witness refusing to support calling party
A hostile witness is a witness who, when called to testify by a party, demonstrates antagonism or unwillingness to tell the truth, or whose testimony is adverse to the party who called them. This allows the calling party to ask leading questions, similar to cross-examination.
