Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A civil gang injunction is a court order that restricts the activities of gang members in a geographic area. It is different from a criminal gang injunction, which is a criminal charge against a gang member or the gang as a whole. A preliminary injunction is a temporary order that is issued before a final decision is made. Since the question does not specify whether the injunction is preliminary or final, we can assume it is a final injunction. Therefore, the best choice is A, a civil gang injunction.
