Question

The term abatement means

• A. to continue an action legally
• B. bringing to an end of an action or suspending an action
• C. To suspend a legal action temporarily
• D. to go on appeal for the suspended action

Hint:

Abatement = bringing a case or legal action to an end or stopping it due to some event (like death of a party).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Abatement is a legal term that refers to the ending, termination, or suspension of legal proceedings.
This could happen for various reasons — for example, when a party to the case dies, the lawsuit may come to an end (get abated).
It's not the same as temporarily pausing (which is usually a stay), and it's definitely not continuing (Option A) or appealing (Option D).
