D Correct answer
Explanation

Section 41B CrPC mandates that the arresting officer must prepare a memorandum of arrest, bear accurate identification with name and designation, and ensure the memorandum is countersigned by the arrested person. The right to legal counsel during interrogation, while a constitutional right under Article 22(1), is not specifically enumerated as a procedural requirement under Section 41B itself.
