(a). a government officer prohibiting him from taking a particular action.
(b). the Parliament/Legislative Assembly to pass a law on Prohibition.
(c). the lower court prohibiting continuation of proceedings in a case.
(d). the Government prohibiting it from following an unconstitutional policy.
Explanation:
Option (a): A Writ of Prohibition is not directed at a single government officer, but rather a court exceeding its jurisdiction.
Option (b): Writ of Prohibition doesn't tell the legislature what to do, it prevents courts from acting beyond their authority.
Option (c): The lower court prohibiting continuation of proceedings in a case.
Option (d): While a Writ can challenge the legality of a policy, it's not directed at the government itself, but the court overseeing its implementation.
The correct answer is (c).
