Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
A person accused of a bailable offence is ordinarily entitled to release when prepared to furnish bail or the applicable bond. Section 478 makes this release mandatory, rather than dependent only on police discretion. An indigent person unable to provide surety must receive the benefit of release on a personal bond, subject to the statutory conditions.
