Correct option is C
The correct answer id C. Under Section 183 of BNSS, 2023 (earlier Section 164 CrPC), a Judicial Magistrate can record a sworn statement from a witness only if it is given voluntarily, without coercion, threat, or inducement. This ensures the credibility and reliability of the testimony. The urgency of filing a charge-sheet or making an arrest does not determine the validity of a sworn statement.
