Correct option - 3

Let's find out the meanings of the given options :-

Victims - A person who suffers from an injurious action or agency.

Accused - A person who is charged with crime; guilty.

Petition - A formal request made to a court of law for some legal action to be taken.

Plaintiff - A person who brings legal case to the court (opposite to defendant).

Clearly, with reference to the context, his lawyers cannot file any person. A document or request is filed. Hence, option 3 i.e. petition is the correct answer.

Correct sentence - His lawyers filed a petition for all charges to be dropped.
