Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 407(1) of the BNSS (formerly section 366(1) CrPC) requires the Sessions Court to submit the proceedings to the High Court and bars execution of its death sentence unless confirmed. Section 408 concerns further inquiry or evidence in that reference; sections 410 and 411 deal with the composition and divided opinions of the confirming court. The submission-and-confirmation requirement is therefore section 407.
