Correct Answer: justice was meted on
Solution : The error lies in the fourth option .
The sentence contains the incorrect phrasal verb "meted on", which should be replaced with meted out to make the sentence grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The accused were finally charged and justice was meted out to the victim."
