Correct answer: (c) 4 3 2 1
Explanation
Each writ's name tells what it does:
- Habeas corpus: "to have the body": produce a detained person before the court (4).
- Mandamus: "we command": orders a public official to do a public duty (3).
- Certiorari: "to be certified" or "to be informed": a higher court quashes an order of a lower court or tribunal, or takes up the case (2).
- Quo warranto: "by what warrant (authority)": asks a person by what right he holds a public office (1).
So the code is 4 3 2 1.
