The correct answer is A. Habeas corpus

Step-by-step explanation:

In law and related fields, Habeas corpus refers to a principle that establishes all individuals that are arrested should be taken to a judge to guarantee their detention is lawful which means there are reasons or evidence that the individual committed and crime and the process of detention follow the law. In the same way, an individual might be released in the case the habeas corpus principle is not followed.

In the case of Jake, habeas corpus has been violated because despite he was arrested, he has not been brought in front of a judge that guarantees the detention was lawful, and Jake committed a crime or offense which is part of Habeas corpus principle.
