Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
E Correct answer
Explanation

A subpoena is a legal order compelling a witness to appear and testify. The relationship is 'official compulsion : person compelled to act.' Conscript is to compel someone to become a soldier through mandatory service. This perfectly parallels the compulsory nature. Options A, B, C are voluntary arrangements. Option D (suborn:judge) is illegal bribery, not official compulsion.
