Explanation:

Let’s break this down:

- Section 82 CrPC deals with proclamation for a person absconding. It kicks in only after a court has issued a warrant for someone’s arrest.

- Now, who can a court issue a warrant against? Primarily, it’s someone accused of a crime (the accused offender).

- Sureties and witnesses can be compelled to appear, but if they skip out, the court uses different procedures for them—like issuing a warrant specifically for a witness under S.87, or recovering bond money from a surety. But issuing a proclamation under S.82 for a surety or a witness isn’t standard practice.

- So, a proclamation under S.82 is really just for accused offenders.

Correct Answer: Option 1 - accused offender
