Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

All three definitions are correct. A victim includes the person suffering loss or injury from the accused's act or omission and that victim's guardian or legal heir. A charge includes each head where several accusations are combined. A cognizable offence or case is one in which the police may arrest without a warrant under the First Schedule or another applicable law; this definition does not mean arrest is compulsory in every case.
