Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The State's power under BNSS s.205 (formerly CrPC s.185) to direct that a case be tried in a different sessions division is indeed narrow and extraordinary, exercised only where considerations of public justice warrant it, so both statements are true and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
