Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 387 of the BNSS (formerly section 348 CrPC) allows the court, in its discretion, to discharge the offender or remit punishment when the offender submits to its order or requisition or tenders an apology to its satisfaction. It applies where the court has punished the offender under section 384 or forwarded him for trial under section 385 in the specified contempt-related circumstances; an apology does not automatically discharge every offender.
