If a party fails to object to the introduction of evidence, or if the objection is untimely, the judge usually receives the evidence. This means that the evidence is admitted and can be considered by the trier of fact in making a decision. The party who failed to object may still make arguments about the weight and credibility of the evidence, but they cannot argue that the evidence should not have been admitted in the first place. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
