Larissa Coffey · Answer 1

d. will be awarded a default judgment.

Explanation:

A summon is any legal document issued by the court or by the authority to appear before the court when a law suit is filed against the defendant by the plaintiff.

But when the defendant does not respond to the summons in the court, the plaintiff gets the judgement while the defendant looses the case by default.

In the context, Ihlan is the plaintiff while Juno is the defendant. When Juno did not respond to the summons issued by the court sheriff, Ihlan wins the case by default.

Hence the correct option is (d).
