Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 2(1)(g) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 2(c) CrPC) defines the category by the police power to arrest without warrant in accordance with the First Schedule or under any other law for the time being in force. That classification is not a direction to make every arrest; the operative arrest safeguards must still be satisfied.
