Explanation:

- Option 1: Acquittal under all circumstances: This is incorrect. Stoppage of proceedings under Section 258 of the CrPC does not automatically result in acquittal in every scenario.

- Option 2: Acquittal where the evidence of the principal witness has been recorded: Correct. If evidence of the principal witness is recorded, stopping proceedings can result in acquittal.

- Option 3: Discharge in all other cases where the evidence of the principal witness has not been recorded: Correct. If the principal witness's evidence is not recorded, discharge is the likely outcome.

- Option 4: Only (b) & (c): This option correctly combines the conditions under which proceedings can result in either acquittal or discharge, based on the status of witness evidence.
