Explanation:

- Section 4 and 5 of the Probation of Offenders Act allow the court to release certain offenders on probation or after admonition.

- These sections also empower the court to order the offender to pay compensation to the victim for loss or injury caused by the offense.

- The court may also direct payment of costs incurred during the proceedings.

- "Compensation" usually refers to payments made to victims for their loss or injury.

- "Damages," in a legal context, also relate to compensation for harm or injury, but typically referred to in civil cases; in this context, the Act specifically uses the term "compensation."

- So, under these sections, the court may order the offender to pay compensation and not damages in the civil sense.

Correct Answer: Option 1 - Compensation
