The statement that is TRUE about a dissenting opinion is:

D. They are recorded in the Court’s formal records.

Dissenting opinions are written by judges who disagree with the majority opinion, and they are officially included in the court's records. The other options are incorrect as dissenting opinions do not form the majority, do not reflect agreement with the majority, and are not binding decisions.
