Explanation

The correct option is A: accused offender.

Explanation:

Section 82 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (C.R.P.C.) in India allows for the issuance of a proclamation when a warrant has been issued against an accused person who is absconding or is intentionally avoiding arrest. The purpose of the proclamation is to give notice to the accused to appear at a specified place and time within a stipulated period, usually not less than 30 days.

Therefore, a proclamation under Section 82 of C.R.P.C. is specifically related to accused offenders who are evading arrest. It is not applicable to sureties or witnesses. So, option A is the correct choice.
