The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Order IV, Rule 1(1) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, lays down the procedure for the institution of a suit. It states: "Every suit shall be instituted by presenting a plaint in duplicate to the Court or such officer as it appoints in this behalf." The requirement of presenting the plaint in duplicate ensures that one copy remains with the court records while the other is used for service of summons on the defendant.
