Answer:

None of these as prisoners are banned from city streets in some circumstances/during investigations you cannot access such streets, etc.

The reasoning behind this:

In economics, a public good is a good that is both non-excludable and non-rivalrous. For such utilities, users cannot be barred from accessing and/or using them for failing to pay for them. Also, use by one person neither prevents access of other people nor does it reduce availability to others.

*there are mixed opinions on this by the way, so if it gets marked wrong you can argue!!
