Retribution is the only punishment that doesn't require any favorable consequence to justify it except to maintain that justice has been served. Retribution is based on the idea of punishment for the sake of punishment, in which an offender receives a punishment that matches the severity of their crime as a way of balancing out the harm that was done. The other options (A) Rehabilitation, (B) Reintegration, and (C) Incapacitation, are all focused on restoring the offender and/or protecting society from future harm, and thus require positive outcomes to be considered justifiable.
