Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 404(1) BNSS (formerly section 363(1) CrPC) requires a free copy of the judgment immediately after pronouncement when the accused is sentenced to imprisonment. It does not require actual admission to jail or representation by legal-aid counsel. Section 404(2) separately provides a certified copy on application, free of cost where the judgment is appealable by the accused; conviction alone is not the unconditional trigger described in subsection (1).
