Explanation:

Let me break this down for you:

- Section 320(1) of the Cr.P.C. deals with compounding of certain offences. It lists which IPC offences can be settled (compounded) between parties.

- For criminal intimidation, this section specifies which part of the IPC applies.

Here’s a quick overview of your options:

- Option 1: 506 IPC

Section 506 relates specifically to “punishment for criminal intimidation.” This is the section actually used for criminal intimidation cases.

- Option 2: 503 IPC

Section 503 defines what criminal intimidation is, but doesn’t cover the punishment part.

- Option 3: 505 IPC

Section 505 deals with statements conducing to public mischief—totally different topic.

- Option 4: 504 IPC

Section 504 is about intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of the peace. Again, different from criminal intimidation.

The correct answer is Option 1: 506 IPC.

This is the exact section referenced in Section 320(1) CrPC for compounding of criminal intimidation cases.
