Explanation:

- Section 290 Cr. P.C.: This section deals with public nuisances not specifically defined and does not relate to capital punishment or pregnancy.

- Section 416 Cr. P.C.: This section specifically provides that if a woman sentenced to death is found to be pregnant, the High Court may postpone the execution of the sentence or commute it.

- Section 388 Cr. P.C.: This section is about the influence of voluntary statements and confessions in civil matters and unrelated to capital punishment postponement.

- Section 222 Cr. P.C.: This section involves the framing of charges and not directly related to the postponement of capital sentences.

Your option 2 is indeed the right choice, as Section 416 Cr. P.C. directly addresses postponement due to pregnancy.
