Question

If taking an action is prescribed by law, which of the following must be true? A. The law prohibits taking an action. B. The law avoids suggesting a specific action. C. The law requires action be taken.

Answer 1

C. The law requires action be taken.

If a law prescribes or mandates a particular action, it means that action is required by law. Option A, where the law prohibits the action, would mean the opposite, and option B suggests the law is neutral or doesn't specify a particular action, which is not the case when an action is prescribed by law.
