Correct answer: A) Reinstatement

Explanation

Reinstatement means the employer must treat the employee as if he had not been dismissed, returning him to the same job with arrears of pay and benefits. Re-engagement is employment in a comparable or other suitable job, possibly with an associated employer. A basic award is part of financial compensation. Specific performance is an equitable remedy in the civil courts and is not ordered by tribunals for employment.
