Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Mandamus.

The writ in Latin that means "we command" is "Mandamus". This writ is issued by a higher court to a lower court, public authority, or official, directing them to perform a specific duty that they are legally obligated to do. Mandamus is used when a public authority fails to carry out its legal duties, and it compels the authority to act. It is one of the important writs in the legal system of many countries, including India.
