Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Under Section 18(1) of the Limitation Act, 1963, where before the expiration of the prescribed period for a suit or application in respect of any property or right, an acknowledgment of liability has been made in writing signed by the party against whom such property or right is claimed, a fresh period of limitation shall be computed from the time when the acknowledgment was so signed. Because 'A' signed the written acknowledgment on Saturday—prior to the expiration of the prescribed period on Sunday—a fresh period of limitation begins to run from the date of the acknowledgment under Section 18.
