How are the laws administered?

  1. By the Prime Minister's office

  2. Through community consensus

  3. By courts, judges, and the police

  4. By the military and intelligence agencies

The correct answer is: By courts, judges, and the police

The laws are administered by courts, judges, and the police in order to enforce the laws and ensure that they are followed by individuals within the society. Option A is incorrect because the Prime Minister's office does not have the authority to enforce laws. Option B is incorrect because laws are not determined by community consensus, but rather by legislative bodies or governing bodies. Option D is incorrect because the military and intelligence agencies do not have jurisdiction to enforce civilian laws. Option C is the most accurate because courts, judges, and the police have the authority to interpret and execute the laws.
