Answer 2

The fourth alternative is correct (D).

The process by which a fugitive from a state can be returned to that state is called extradition.

When the authorities of a state apprehend a criminal who was being sought by the authorities of another state, the prisoner may be extradited if the authorities of that first state request. For this, a legal procedural rite must be fulfilled, backed by the Constitution. To facilitate this process, some states make mutual extradition agreements for this type of situation.
