Which term describes a session of the Commission for receiving evidence and making decisions?

• A. Eligibility list
• B. Position
• C. Promotion
• D. Hearing or public hearing

Answer: (D)

A hearing is a formal proceeding where evidence is presented and the Commission decides based on what is heard. In civil service matters, a hearing (often a public hearing when open to the public) is used to review appeals, disciplinary actions, or other disputes, ensuring due process before a decision is made. The other terms don’t fit this scenario: an eligibility list is just a roster of qualified candidates, a position is a job opening, and a promotion is moving up in rank.
