All of the options listed (A, B, and C) are necessary conditions for making an accusation against an innocent person without breaking the law. If the accuser has a reasonable belief that the accused has committed an offense (A), makes the accusation in private and under reasonable conditions (B), and does not use any coercive tactics to elicit a false confession (C), they should be in the clear.
