Answer
- B I can complain to the head of the authority.
Explanation
Anyone who is treated badly by an authority can complain to the person's superior, that is the head of the authority (complaint about the conduct of an official). Everyone also has the right of petition (Article 17 of the Basic Law). Threats, by contrast, are not permitted and can be a criminal offense.
