D. All of these are correct.

Explanation:

Absolute privilege is a term used in US courts to refer to the situation in which a full defense is required in a defamation case. That is, when the defense (in court) has absolute privilege, any defamation made by the accuser in order to damage one's reputation is irrelevant. Absolute privilege can protect the defendant in any situation involving third party statements made between spouses when alone, statements made by members of Congress in the plenary of Congress and by members of state and local bodies, and statements made by participants in a lawsuit. in relation to this process.
