A Correct answer
Explanation

Res Gestae is a Latin phrase literally meaning 'things done' or 'things accomplished.' In evidence law, it refers to the spontaneous statements or actions accompanying an event that help explain it, making them admissible as an exception to the hearsay rule. Options B, C, and D are incorrect - 'things spoken' would be closer to res verba, 'same transaction' describes when res gestae applies but isn't the literal meaning, and 'things then' has no legal meaning.
