Correct answer B

An inadequacy appeal directed by the State Government from a Sessions Court sentence goes to the High Court under section 418(1)(b) of the BNSS (formerly section 377(1)(b) CrPC). The separate route to the Court of Session concerns sentences passed by Magistrates. The provision's opening words also exclude trials held by a High Court.
