D is the correct answer, I believe, because if the victim is suing, it's civil.  If the government were to sue, it would be criminal.
A isn't a civil case, because that's public property.
B isn't a civil case, because trespassing is criminal.
C isn't a civil case, because well, I mean, obviously property theft is criminal.

Considering the available options, the case that would be heard in a civil court is "a case involving a pedestrian suing a motorist for negligence."

This is because negligence is considered an offense that can be heard in civil court.

Other types of offense that can be heard in civil courts are the following:

  • personal injury,
  • battery,
  • defamation,
  • medical malpractice,
  • fraud, etc.

However, option A is wrong because vandalism of public property is considered a criminal offense.

Option B is wrong because trespass is a criminal offense.

Option C is also wrong because, generally, theft is considered a criminal offense, even if it's petty theft.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is option D. "a case involving a pedestrian suing a motorist for negligence."
