Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 395 BNSS permits court-ordered compensation through fine proceeds or a compensation order where fine is not part of the sentence. Section 396 provides the State victim-compensation scheme, with awards through the legal services authorities (formerly sections 357 and 357A CrPC).
