Hey there!

Here is your answer:

The proper answer to this question is option B "judge".

Reason:

The writ of habeas corpus allows a person to not be held in jail into the person could appear in court before the judge. In order to have it allowed the judge has to sign a court order that allows the criminal to have his or her trial without having to be held in jail or prison without a trial.

Therefore the answer is option B.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!
