Which scenario could be an example of hindering apprehension or prosecution?

Hindering apprehension or prosecution involves actions that intentionally obstruct law enforcement from carrying out their duties, particularly in capturing a suspect or ensuring that they are brought before the court. Hiding somebody in your house is a clear example of this, as it actively interferes with police efforts to apprehend a person who is already wanted or suspected of wrongdoing. By concealing someone from law enforcement, an individual is directly obstructing the process of justice and enabling the suspect to evade apprehension.

Providing false information to the police, running away from the police, and refusing to answer questions may also create challenges for law enforcement, but they do not constitute the same level of active obstruction as hiding someone. Providing false information could mislead the investigation, but it does not physically shield a suspect. Running away demonstrates evasion but does not involve a direct action to obstruct law enforcement from finding a suspect. Refusing to answer questions might hinder an investigation but does not imply the same commitment to preventing an arrest as physically hiding someone does.
