Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
A "Unique opinion" is not a recognized type of opinion written by courts. The recognized types include concurring, plurality, and majority opinions. Concurring opinions agree with the majority's decision but for different reasons, plurality opinions are supported by the largest number of judges when no majority is reached, and majority opinions reflect the view of the majority of the judges.
