Which writ can a High Court issue to compel an individual within its jurisdiction, who claims to hold a public office, to prove the legal basis of their claim?

Explanation

The writ of Quo-Warranto is issued by a High Court to require a person asserting a public office to demonstrate the legal authority for holding that position. Certiorari is used to quash orders, Prohibition prevents lower courts from exceeding jurisdiction, and 'None of the above' is incorrect.
