C

Explanation:

An injunction is an order given from the court which requires an individual or a group to perform or cease from doing a specified activity. The types of injunctions that can be issued include permanent injunctions, temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions. However in the case of the gang members, they were given a gang injunction known as gang loitering ordinance which prevents gang members from congregating in specified residential areas in a given city as an attempt to reduce the level of illegal activities.
