Explanation:

- Section 239 Cr. P.C.: This section relates to the discharge of an accused if the Magistrate considers the charge against them to be groundless. This is relevant when adequate evidence to proceed is lacking.

This is the correct answer.

- Section 264 Cr. P.C.: This section involves the recording of judgments in cases where there were summary trials. It doesn’t deal with discharge.

- Section 337 Cr. P.C.: This section pertains to the power to tender a pardon to an accomplice. It doesn’t involve the discharge of an accused.

- Section 258 Cr. P.C.: This provides the power to stop proceedings in certain summons cases, but it doesn't directly relate to discharge of the accused.
