Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Neither is vitiated: Section 175(2) BNSS (formerly s.156(2) CrPC) bars challenge to an investigation on the ground of want of territorial jurisdiction, and Section 508 BNSS (formerly s.462 CrPC) saves cognizance or trial in the wrong place absent a failure of justice, so there is "investigation and cognizance not without jurisdiction".
