1. The trial court should
The jurisdiction in which the defendant is being tried does not allow in evidence lie detector results. On cross-examination by the defendant's attorney, the witness was asked, «The light was too dim to identify the defendant, wasn't it?» She responded, «I'm sure enough that it was the defendant that I passed a lie detector test administered by the police.» The defendant's attorney immediately objects and moves to strike.
The defendant was charged with stealing furs from a van. At trial, a witness testified that she saw the defendant take the furs.

A is incorrect. The leading nature of the question is irrelevant to the determination of whether or not to strike inadmissible testimony. Additionally, an attorney is allowed to lead on cross-examination.
C is incorrect. Lie detector results in this jurisdiction are inadmissible, and to refer to them is to attempt to admit irrelevant evidence, not to properly rehabilitate an impeached witness.
D is incorrect. Lie detector results in this jurisdiction are inadmissible. The witness's response was unresponsive to the simple yes or no question that the defendant's attorney asked.
