Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Inadmissible against the accused, no matter what
Section 25: 'No confession made to a police officer shall be proved as against a person accused of any offence.' This is an absolute bar, immune from waiver. Section 26 extends a similar exclusion to confessions in police custody unless made in the immediate presence of a Magistrate.
