Correct option is B
As per Section 174 of the Cr.P.C., when the officer in charge of a police station receives information about a person's suicide, he must report the matter to the Executive Magistrate. The Executive Magistrate then holds an inquiry, especially if the suicide appears suspicious or involves certain categories of individuals.
