Correct answer: D. none of these
- A. Caliph
- B. Wali/Governor
- C. Imam

Explanation
No individual listed has authority to cancel the zakat obligation of a person who is legally liable for it, because zakat is a divinely fixed duty. A ruler may administer or distribute it, but cannot generally exempt someone from the obligation.
