Explanation:

- Section 313 of Cr.P.C. empowers the court to examine the accused for explaining evidence against him. This is not as a witness on oath, but to provide an opportunity for the accused to personally explain any circumstances appearing in the evidence.

- Section 303 of Cr.P.C. gives the accused the right to be defended by an advocate of his choice, but does not relate to examination as a witness.

- Section 302 of Cr.P.C. deals with permission to conduct prosecution, allowing any person to conduct prosecution with the court's permission.

- Section 300 of Cr.P.C. relates to the principle of "double jeopardy," ensuring that a person cannot be tried twice for the same offense.

Option 1: Section 313 is correct.
