Answer is D. It is homicidal hanging in which a suspect, accused or enemy is hanged by a rope from a tree by the mob.
The name is derived from William Lynch, a white captain in the USA, who used to order hanging of blacks (negroes) on the spot without trial.
It was practised in a tribal part of India and some southern states of America, for sexual crimes or to take revenge.
