What type of writ requires a court to restrain a person from taking certain action or to require a person to take certain action?

  1. Complaint

  2. Injunction

  3. Attachment

  4. Declaratory Judgment

The correct answer is: Injunction

An injunction is a type of writ that is used to prevent someone from taking a certain action or to require them to take a specific action. A complaint is a legal document that initiates a lawsuit and outlines the claims of the plaintiff against the defendant, so it is not the correct answer. Attachment is a court order that allows a creditor to take possession of a debtor's property, but it does not pertain to restraining or requiring someone's actions. A declaratory judgment is a court ruling that determines the rights and obligations of the parties involved in a legal dispute, but it is not a writ that specifically restrains or requires actions. Therefore, the correct answer is B, injunction, as it is the only option that directly relates to the restraining or requiring of actions.
