A.
Explanation
This question pertains to the conditions under which an individual may be legally deprived of liberty. The correct answer depends on the legal procedures that must be followed in order to deprive someone of their freedom. Thus, it directly relates to the law and its regulations concerning personal liberty. In most jurisdictions, deprivation of liberty can be sanctioned only with formal and official authorization from a competent body — seldom if ever authorizing through informal means such as telephone calls. Telephone authorization, whether from an authority in an organization or from competent body, is generally considered an insufficient documentary proof under legal scrutiny. Thus, options that reflect legal processes would be logically considered correct.
