A Correct answer
Explanation

Jailor is correct because it correctly describes the task which the person does. Warden is one who is the administrative in charge of a jail or prison. Guard could be used but is too broad and vague to accurately describe the task. Captor could refer to a kidnapper and is thus incorrect.
