Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Kleinig (1996) defines an officer as a social peacekeeper who is responsible for maintaining social order and preventing or resolving conflicts. This definition emphasizes the role of police officers in preserving the peace and promoting public safety. The other choices, such as crime fighter and emergency operator, are more limited in scope and do not capture the full range of duties and responsibilities of a police officer.
