Solution

The correct option is A Sessions
Sessions courts are the subordinate courts that deal with the matters which are criminal in nature. Thus, it is the Sessions court which has the power to give death sentence as a punishment to some serious crimes. However, the punishment of death sentence given by the Sessions court cannot be carried out without confirmation by the High Court of that state.
