D. Sequential lineups require absolute judgments, while simultaneous lineups require relative judgments. In a simultaneous lineup, all the choices are presented at once, allowing the witness to make a comparative judgment. In a sequential lineup, the choices are presented one at a time, and the witness must make an absolute judgment on each individual before moving on to the next option. This reduces the likelihood of false identifications and increases the accuracy of the witness's identification.
