Which citation uses the Official Code of Georgia Annotated where 16-6-2(a) is cited?

The main idea is recognizing the proper jurisdictional abbreviation for a state statute and the official code title. The Official Code of Georgia Annotated is cited as Ga. Code Ann. when you’re referencing Georgia statutes. Since the cited section is 16-6-2(a), the correct form is Ga. Code Ann. § 16-6-2(a). The other options belong to different states—Virginia uses Va. Code Ann., Michigan uses Mich. Comp. Laws Ann., and Hawaii uses Haw. Rev. Stat. Ann.—so they would be used if the statute were from those jurisdictions. The clue here is the “Official Code Annotated” designation, which points to Georgia and its Ga. Code Ann. abbreviation.
