Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The accused is asked to plead after the court has framed the charge. Under section 251(2) of the BNSS (formerly section 228(2) CrPC), the charge is then read and explained to the accused, who is asked whether he pleads guilty or claims to be tried. A police charge-sheet is the investigation report; filing it does not replace this judicial framing and explanation of the charge.
