Answer 1

Answer:

B. You are responsible for making the next decision

The idiom "the ball is in your court" means that it is now your turn to take action or make a decision in a situation. It is often used when someone is waiting for another person to respond or decide.

✅ "I've given you all the information you need. Now, the ball is in your court." (It’s now your responsibility to take the next step.)
