Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The text specifically defines "punishment" as the action designed to deprive a person of things of value (including liberty) because of some offense they are thought to have committed. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Retribution and retaliation are similar concepts, but they do not necessarily involve an official action by an authority figure like punishment does. Justice is a broader term that refers to fairness and morality, not just punishment.
