Explanation:

- Section 356: This section of the Code of Criminal Procedure deals with the situation when a convicted person is released on probation rather than being sentenced to prison, but does not specifically deal with compensation for victims.

- Section 357: This section allows courts to order compensation to be paid out of fines imposed on the offender to the victim of the crime, but doesn't specifically provide for state-funded compensation.

- Section 357A: This section provides for victim compensation schemes. Under this, the state government can provide compensation to victims or their dependents, ensuring financial relief.

- None of the above: This option is incorrect because section 357A indeed covers compensation.
