Explanation:

- Section 156(1) of CrPC: This section empowers police officers to investigate any cognizable case without a magistrate's order.

- Section 156(2) of CrPC: States that a police officer's investigation authority is not restricted, nor is it affected by any area-specific limitations.

- Section 156(3) of CrPC: This section allows a magistrate to direct the police to investigate a cognizable offence. This is often invoked when a complainant approaches the magistrate with a grievance about police inaction.

- All of the above: Incorrect, as not all sections refer to a magistrate's power to direct investigations.
