The answer is: C

Explanation

The correct sequence is option C:

F.I.R (First Information Report) - > Investigation - > Charge Sheet - > Prosecution

This is the typical sequence followed in criminal proceedings in India.

First, an F.I.R is filed to report a criminal offence. Then, an investigation is conducted by the police to collect evidence and gather information about the crime. Once the investigation is complete, a charge sheet is filed by the police, which contains details of the evidence collected and the charges against the accused. Finally, the case goes to prosecution where the prosecutor presents the case in court and the trial begins.
