Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
A court order directing a detainee to be brought to court is called habeas corpus. Habeas corpus is a legal writ that requires a person under arrest to be brought before a judge or into court. A summons is an order to appear in court as a defendant or witness, but it is not specifically for a detainee.
