Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

When a complaint is presented to a Magistrate, and the Magistrate proceeds to examine the complainant and the witnesses, it is considered as the Magistrate conducting an inquiry.
In legal terms, an inquiry refers to the process conducted by a Magistrate to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to proceed with a trial. During this stage, the Magistrate evaluates the complaint and gathers information from the complainant and witnesses to decide whether there are grounds for further legal action.
Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
