Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

BNS section 344 falsification of accounts is classified as non-cognizable, so BNSS section 174 requires recording its information and referring the informant to the Magistrate. Investigation needs the competent Magistrate’s order. Even after that order, the non-cognizable investigation power does not include arrest without a warrant.
