By Law Officer
Peace Officer
Security Guard
Private Investigator

The correct answer is: Peace Officer

The correct response indicates that a private citizen who makes an arrest without a warrant is required to deliver the individual to a peace officer. Peace officers, such as police officers, are regularly tasked with maintaining public order and enforcing laws. They have the legal authority to take custody of an arrested individual and ensure that proper legal protocols are followed, including further investigation, processing, or liaising with the judicial system. The other options either do not have the same level of legal authority or are not designed for this specific function. While a law officer and a peace officer might seem similar, the term "law officer" is broader and does not specifically denote the police role. Security guards and private investigators do not possess the same powers as peace officers regarding arrests and legal custody. Security guards primarily handle security measures within specific environments but do not have authority under the law to arrest individuals, while private investigators focus on collecting information and surveillance rather than law enforcement.
