Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A writ of certiorari is an order from a higher court to a lower court requesting the record of a particular case. The higher court, typically an appellate court, reviews the case to determine whether the lower court correctly applied the law. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A (Motion for habeas corpus) is a writ that is used to challenge the legality of a person's detention. Option C (Writ of certification) is a writ that is issued by a lower court to ask a higher court to clarify a question of law. Option D (Corpus delicti) is a Latin term that means "body of the crime," referring to the evidence that a crime has been committed. It is not a type of writ.
