Correct answer: A - the USA
Plea bargaining grew up in the criminal courts of the United States, where most criminal cases are settled by it. In India it is provided for in Chapter XXIII (sections 289 to 300) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, which carried forward Chapter XXIA of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The UK, Australia and Germany have forms of guilty-plea discounts or negotiated settlements, but the concept did not originate there.
