Answer: A
The rule in Heydon's case is also known as Purposive construction.
Heydon's case (1584) laid down the mischief rule: the court asks what the law was before the Act, what mischief it did not provide for, what remedy Parliament chose and the true reason for it, and then interprets the Act to suppress the mischief and advance the remedy. Reading a statute in light of its purpose is purposive construction.
Literal construction gives words their plain meaning whatever the result, harmonious construction reconciles provisions that seem to conflict, and casus omissus is a case the statute has omitted, which courts generally may not supply.
