Answer: (C)

Stage 3 of the EL/PL pre-action protocol is about presenting what has happened in terms of damages and how the parties might settle. Part A requires detailing the losses the claimant is claiming, covering both past and future financial impacts (like medical costs, treatment, travel expenses, loss of earnings) and any general damages for pain and suffering. Part B then focuses on offers to settle, setting out any settlement offers and the basis for them. This structure helps the other side see the value of the claim first and then consider a negotiated settlement, aiming to resolve the dispute without going to court.
