C The burden of proof is put on the defendant in a civil case. In civil cases, the plaintiff only needs to prove their case by a preponderance of the evidence, which is a lower standard of proof compared to the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard required in criminal cases. This makes it easier for a plaintiff to obtain a conviction in a civil case compared to a criminal case.
