The correct answer is option 2, Habeas Corpus. Habeas corpus is a fundamental legal principle that protects against unlawful detention and ensures the right to personal freedom. It is derived from Latin, meaning "you shall have the body." Habeas corpus enables individuals to challenge the legality of their detention and requires the government to provide a legitimate reason for holding someone in custody. It acts as a safeguard against arbitrary arrests and indefinite detention without trial. Mandamus (option 1), Quo-Warranto (option 3), and Certiorari (option 4) are also legal remedies, but they do not specifically relate to personal freedom and the protection of individuals from unlawful detention.
