    Solution

    Indict means to formally charge someone with a crime through a grand jury or similar legal process. Statement I: This statement correctly uses "indict" in the context of legal charges. The district attorney is responsible for prosecuting crimes, and announcing the indictment of cybercriminals falls within their duties. Statement II: The term "indict" is not appropriate in the context of a landlord-tenant dispute over rent. The correct legal action would be to evict the tenant, not indict them. Statement III: "Induct" is the appropriate word for admitting someone into an organization or group. While "indict" might sound similar, it has a completely different meaning.
