Correct Answer:

from the beginning

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - from the beginning

The appropriate meaning of the foreign word "DE NOVO" is: from the beginning

"De novo" is a Latin phrase that translates to "from the new" or "anew." In legal contexts, it specifically means to start over or begin again from the beginning, especially in reference to a new trial or a reconsideration of a case without reference to prior decisions. Therefore, "from the beginning" accurately captures the meaning of "de novo."
