Why this question matters

This question is drawn from the “The UK Government, the Law and Your Role” section of the official Home Office handbook. Topics from this chapter make up a significant portion of the 24 questions in the real exam, so being able to answer this one comfortably is a small but real step towards passing on the day.

The accepted answer is B, C: “Order them to change their practices” / “Order them to pay compensation”. Memorise the underlying fact rather than the option letter — the order of options changes between attempts, and the real exam may rephrase the question.
