Which type of legal action uses 'Probation' as a potential outcome?

  1. Civil litigation

  2. Criminal proceedings

  3. Contract disputes

  4. Personal injury claims

The correct answer is: Criminal proceedings

Probation as a potential outcome is most commonly associated with criminal proceedings. Civil litigation, contract disputes, and personal injury claims typically do not result in probation since they are not criminal in nature. Instead, they may result in financial settlements, court-ordered damages, or other remedies deemed appropriate for the case. Therefore, criminal proceedings are the only type of legal action where probation is a possible consequence.
