What should police and administration do in protecting human rights?

Act respectfully and fairly according to law

The governing concept is accountable and lawful administration. Police and other public authorities have power over citizens, so they must use that power according to law, follow fair procedures, respect the presumption of innocence, listen to complaints, and avoid unnecessary force, humiliation, or discrimination. Option A is correct because respectful and impartial conduct protects dignity while lawful procedure limits arbitrary action and makes officials answerable. Option B represents harassment and abuse of authority; C denies access to justice and can allow violations to continue; D treats people unequally and conflicts with equality before law. Human-rights protection is not achieved merely by having officials present; it requires their conduct to be fair, reasoned, reviewable, and respectful.
