The purpose of a complaint is to:

Request the court to issue an order
Obtain information that the other party has
Dismiss the lawsuit
Initiate a lawsuit

The correct answer is: Initiate a lawsuit

A complaint is a legal document that initiates a lawsuit by specifying the claims and allegations of the plaintiff. This means that the purpose of a complaint is to start a legal action against someone or something. A complaint is not a request for an order or dismissal of the lawsuit, and it also does not seek to obtain information from the other party. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect.
