Answer:

The correct answer would be, Exigent Circumstances.

Step-by-step explanation:

The police may not make a non consensual warrant-less arrest inside a person's home or arrest a guest within that home without Exigent Circumstances.

The precise meaning of exigent is 'Demanding', so exigent circumstances are those circumstances which are demanding and unavoidable. Police can only arrest a person without a warrant if there is a situation in which police cannot afford to leave the suspect. For example, there is a person who is suspected in a murder case and is running from the police and police got a clue about him that he is hiding at some place as a guest or in his own house, then these are exigent circumstances in which police can arrest him without his consent and without the warrant as they cannot afford to lose the suspect again.
