A Correct answer
Explanation

Habeas Corpus (literally 'you may have the body') is the writ issued to challenge illegal detention of a person. It directs the detaining authority to produce the detained person before the court and justify the detention. Mandamus, Prohibition, and Quo Warranto serve different purposes and do not specifically address illegal detention.
