What type of legal action is 'Probation' an outcome in?

Tort
Contract
Criminal
All of the above

The correct answer is: Criminal

Probation is typically an outcome in criminal cases, not civil cases such as tort or contract. It is a period of supervision or conditional release granted by the court as an alternative to imprisonment for a criminal offense. This option allows the offender to remain in the community with certain restrictions and requirements, such as reporting to a probation officer, and is typically used for less serious offenses. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not pertain to criminal cases and the legal action of probation.
