An authoritative command or order; an official order given by a law court, usually to stop someone from doing something.

• A. Injunction
• B. Edict
• C. Jus
• D. Decree

Answer: (A)

This term refers to a legal command issued by a court that either requires someone to do something or, more commonly, to refrain from doing something. An injunction is the kind of remedy used in civil cases to prevent harm or preserve the status quo while a dispute is decided. You might hear about a temporary injunction or a permanent one, depending on how long the order lasts. The description matches an injunction because it specifically describes an official court order aimed at stopping someone from taking a particular action. Other terms like edict or decree are formal orders too, but they come from rulers or government authorities and aren’t necessarily court orders. Jus is related to law, not an order directing someone to act or refrain.
