Explanation

B: Bail may be granted only through the exercise of judicial discretion.

When an offense is classified as a non-bailable offense, it means that bail is not granted as a matter of right, and the decision to grant bail is at the discretion of the judicial authority. The court will consider various factors and circumstances before deciding whether to grant bail in non-bailable cases. Therefore, option B accurately describes the situation for non-bailable offenses. Thank you for your patience and clarification.
