B. It all depends on who is presenting their case. If the Defense witness is on the stand, the Defense would conduct the Direct Examination and the Prosecution would conduct the Cross Examination. After the prosecution is finished, the Defense would then conduct their Re-Direct Examination of the witness.

B. The side that's called the witness.

It works like this. The Side calls the witness (Can be either side in any type of case), and Directs Examination to them. THen the Opposing side cross examines. After that, the Original Side REDIRECTS examination to the witness in case a point must be clarified or an answer restated.

This is the closest definition from Law.Com and ECC Forum & Fellowship. Notice that in the definition of DIRECT examination, you see that REDIRECT is again done by the original attorney:

direct examination
n. the first questioning of a witness during a trial or deposition (testimony out of court), as distinguished from cross-examination by opposing attorneys and redirect examination when the witness is again questioned by the original attorney.

D is the closest answer. Whoever calls the witness conducts direct examination and then the opposing party has the opportunity to conduct cross-examination when the direct examination is over.
