    • D.

      None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Will be charged with violence.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Will be charged with violence" because harming a student and leaving marks on their body is a clear act of violence. Regardless of Mr. K's position as the headmaster of the school, he should be held accountable for his actions. Being an authorized person does not exempt someone from facing consequences for their violent behavior. Therefore, Mr. K should be charged with violence for harming the student.
