Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 38(1) allows the Court, "wherever necessary", to take the assistance of a translator or interpreter "while recording the evidence of the child". The provision is tied to the child's evidence at trial, not to bail, sentencing or appeal hearings; interpreters at the police stage are provided for separately in sections 19(4) and 26(2).
