Solution

The correct option is B Habeas Corpus
The Supreme Court and the High Court can issue the writ of Habeas Corpus to someone who is suspected of illegally detaining a person. The person, against whom the writ has been issued, needs to present the detainee in court and explain the circumstances of the detention. If it is discovered that the detainment was illegal, the person is set free unconditionally.
