Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2: Inquiry.

Explanation:
Committal proceedings under Section 209 of the Criminal Procedure Code (Cr. P.C.) are considered an inquiry. This section comes into play when a case is exclusively triable by the Court of Sessions. The Magistrate commits the case to the Sessions Court after ensuring that the necessary procedural requirements, such as furnishing documents and evidence to the accused, are completed. These proceedings are preliminary in nature and serve as a bridge between investigation and trial, but they do not constitute a trial themselves.
