  1. Sentence

  2. Verdict

  3. Decree

  4. Ruling

The correct answer is: Sentence

A judgment passed by a court on a criminal offender is known as a sentence. A sentence is the penalty or punishment given by the court after a person is found guilty of a crime. It is different from a verdict, which is the decision made by the jury or judge in a criminal case after considering all the evidence. Decree and ruling refer to decisions made by a court in civil cases. Therefore, they are not applicable when discussing judgments on criminal offenders.
