Answer:

C. Incarceration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Incarceration is a legal term used to define the sentence a person receives for being in the jail or prison.The term incarceration is derived from Latin word carcer which means jail. When a person commits crime, he/she gets incarcerated as a punishment. It is being in a state of imprisonment.

As per the law, policer officers or other law enforcement officers are permitted to put a person in prison who has committed any crime.

Therefore, option C is correct.
