Explanation:

- Magistrate’s Court: Generally, magistrate's courts have limited powers and do not have the inherent power to quash an FIR. They primarily handle the initial stages of criminal proceedings.

- Court of Session: Similar to magistrate's courts, sessions courts do not possess inherent powers to quash FIRs. They often work on more serious offenses but do not handle quashing FIR procedures.

- High Court: The High Court does have the inherent power under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code to quash an FIR.

- Either (a) or (b) or (c): This option doesn't accurately capture the specific powers each court holds regarding FIR quashing.

The correct option is 3 - the High Court.
