Correct Answer: Remission


Solution : The correct answer is Remission.

Remission has the effect of lessening the severity of the punishment without changing its nature. The severe punishment of two years, for instance, could be reduced to the severe punishment of one year. The President has the authority to pardon, reprieve, respite, or remit punishment under Article 72 of the Constitution.
