Explanation:

- Option 1: Section 156 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, does not specifically grant the power to a Magistrate to direct the CBI to conduct investigations. This power is typically derived from other legal principles or statutes and involves a higher court's intervention.

- Option 2: The Magistrate under Section 156 does not have the authority to refer a complaint directly to any specialized agency like the Corps of Detectives (COD) for investigation.

- Option 3: As both Options 1 and 2 are incorrect regarding Section 156, this option is not applicable.

- Option 4: This option is correct. Section 156 provides power to police officers in charge of a station to investigate cognizable cases, but it does not include directing specialized agencies like CBI or COD.
