Complete answer:
Option A, ‘Excommunicate’ is defined as an institutional act of debbaring a person from his or her religion or it is done to restrict some of the rights of the person which it enjoys in its own religion. This penalty gains its polarity from the Catholic Church’s most severe penalty imposed for particularly grave sins. Though according to understanding of the excommunication details which were found in the inscription it also prohibits the person excommunicated from taking parts in certain activities of their religious community. Usually the power of excommunication lied in the hands of The Pope and the Archbishop. Some of the famous examples are that of excommunication penalty at the founding will of Venice Italy. The penalty of excommunication is not perpetual one and the person excommunicated is given the chance of again getting back to their day to day activities related to their religion and also establishing a relationship with the Church. The power of removing excommunication penalty is also in the hands of The Pope and The Bishop. Depending on the amplitude of the mistakes the person penalty is absolved either in private or in public. Within Catholic Church the community belonging to Latin Church follows different types of excommunication penalty as compared to that of the eastern Catholic Church. Thus, it is the correct answer.

Option B, ‘Summon’ is defined as an order given by some higher authority such as a court to be present at a specified place at some specified time. So, it is not the relevant answer.

Option C, ‘Choose’ is defined as an option to select among the various alternatives available for anything. Thus, it is also not a related answer.

Option D is an invalid option.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A)

Note: 1)Pope is defined as the bishop of supreme pontiff.
2)Example Pope Francis is the bishop of Rome since the year 2013 from 13th March.
3)The headquarters is Apostolic Palace in Vatican City.
