The official decision of a court on the claims of parties to a litigation is known as?

1. Verdict

2. Ruling

3. Judgment

4. Decree

The correct answer is: Judgment

A judgment is the official decision of a court on the claims of parties to a litigation. This is different from a verdict, which is typically the decision made by a jury in a trial. A ruling can refer to any decision made by a court, but is not specific to a court case. A decree is often used in a governmental or legal context, but is more commonly used to refer to an order or command, rather than a decision on a specific legal dispute. Therefore, the most accurate and specific term for the official decision of a court in a litigation is a judgment.
