(A) Before blaming others, you had better be well-prepared for potential criticism that may come toward you.

解析：

原句的意思是：「在指責別人之前，你最好先確保自己已準備好為自己辯護。」這句話強調的是在批評他人前，應該先考慮自己是否也可能受到批評或挑戰。

各選項分析：
• (A) ✅ 「在指責他人之前，你最好準備好應對可能針對你的批評。」→ 與原句意思相符，正確。
• (B) ❌ 「在做出粗俗手勢之前，你最好確保自己不會因此上法庭。」→ 偏離原意，與「point the finger at others（指責他人）」的概念不同。
• (C) ❌ 「在發脾氣之前，你或許應該停下來三思後果。」→ 這裡的「losing your temper（發脾氣）」與「point the finger at others（指責他人）」不完全對應。
• (D) ❌ 「在刁難別人之前，你或許應該先確認清楚對方是誰。」→ 這句話強調的是「瞭解對方」，但原句重點是「在指責別人前，要確保自己有能力自辯」，所以不符。
