Correct response: What is “Apology”?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
Plato’s “Apology” presents Socrates’ legal self-defense speech regarding the charges against Socrates for impiety and corruption (of the Athenian youth) in 399 B.C. Socrates was well known for clashing with prominent Athenians, especially after the Oracle at Delphi proclaimed nobody to be wiser than Socrates. After the trial, Socrates was sentenced to death; his death sentence was to drink poison (hemlock).
You can find the full text of “Apology” at the Internet Classics Archive.

I have a bad feeling about this Final category. I’m going to say that no one gets it,,,
On the question about “stat”, I have been told that it is not originally from Latin. It is actually very English. It stands for shortest turn around time. After being in the medical field 40+ years I’m more likely to believe the latter.
Any reputable sources on the Internet say that it is a shortening of the Latin “statim”.
I don’t dont understand why quinn Ave next nonanswer but wagered $5401…anybody?
Bets are locked in after seeing the category, but before seeing the clue, and cannot be changed after the fact. So that explains why someone might make a bet but have no response.
