Correct Option: B
Under the writ of Habeas Corpus, the Court intervenes and asks the authority to provide the reasons for such detention. All proceedings under Article 226 are either civil or criminal. When a person asks for a writ of Habeas Corpus, that is a criminal proceeding. But when a person asks for any other writ than the Habeas Corpus, the proceedings are necessarily civil proceedings.
