Correct Answer:

The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:

The Judge said, ‘Call the accused in the court’. - The pronoun "them" is missing.

The Judge ordered, ‘Call the accused in the court’ - The word "ordered" is more formal than the word "said", which is not appropriate in this context.
