Navigating the legal landscape in the United Kingdom involves interacting with different professionals and advice services depending on the jurisdiction and the complexity of the case. Based on the official handbook, which of the following statements correctly describes how an individual typically accesses these services and the roles of the professionals involved?

- BAn individual must first contact a barrister to manage the administration of a legal case, as solicitors are specialists who are only permitted to work when hired by the Citizens Advice Bureau for high-profile trials.
- CIn the Scottish justice system, solicitors are referred to as advocates, and they are the only legal professionals authorized by the government to provide free, confidential advice on civil disputes like debt or housing.
- DLegal representation is strictly divided so that solicitors are found exclusively through local police stations for criminal matters, while barristers are prohibited from appearing in any court higher than a County Court.
