Who decides about sections?

Is it the privilege (or right) of the complainant to quote sections under which case is to be filed or that of prosecuting agency depending on the facts of the case?

Mentioning of section by complainant doesnt effect or affect the matter. Only these sections are relevant on which court take cognizance. Henece there is no question of such privilege.

If complainant is competent enough, he can quote sections in complaint.  The prosecution may or may not include those sections or add some more sections.  But, finally, the judge will frame the charges.  At that time both the prosecution/complainant and also accused can put submissions about the relevance of the sections relied upon.
