Correct Answer: Point blank


Solution : The correct choice will be the third option.

The idiom point blank is used to describe a shot or an action that occurs at very close range, typically without any intervening distance.
In the context of the given sentence, the use of "point blank" emphasises that the shooting took place at an extremely close distance without any significant space between the shooter (police officer) and the target (dacoit).

Therefore, the correct answer will be point blank.
