The correct answer is C) Superintendent of Police.

Section 98 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, empowers a District Magistrate, a Sub-divisional Magistrate, or a Magistrate of the first class to make an order for the immediate restoration of abducted females. The Superintendent of Police is not listed among the authorities who can issue such an order under this specific section.

While the police play a crucial role in investigating cases of abduction and assisting in the recovery of victims, the power to issue a judicial order for restoration under Section 98 CrPC rests specifically with certain classes of Magistrates. Other sections of the CrPC deal with the powers and duties of the police in apprehending suspects and recovering persons.
