Explanation:

- Option 1: Parole

Parole is the conditional release of a prisoner before completing the full sentence. A pre-sentence report may not be required, but a parole board assessment is.

- Option 2: Premature Release

This refers to early release for various reasons such as good behavior, and may involve assessments but not specifically a pre-sentence report.

- Option 3: Probation

Probation allows an offender to serve their sentence outside of jail under supervision. A pre-sentence report is usually required to help determine suitability for probation.

- Correct Answer: Option 3 - Probation

- Option 4: Bail

Bail is a temporary release pending trial. It typically involves a court decision rather than a pre-sentence report.
