Paralegals are legal assistants who work under the supervision of a lawyer and perform various tasks in the legal field. They are responsible for providing support in a wide range of activities, including drafting legal documents, conducting legal research, and interviewing clients and witnesses. These tasks require strong organizational and communication skills, as well as knowledge of legal terminology and procedures. Option A is incorrect because drafting legal documents is only one aspect of a paralegal's job. Option B is also incorrect as legal research is another important task that paralegals may perform. Option C is incorrect because interviewing clients and witnesses is also a key responsibility of a paralegal. Therefore, the correct answer is D, as it includes all of the tasks mentioned.
