Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Under section 6 of the Limitation Act, 1963, if the person entitled to sue is a minor, insane or an idiot when the period would begin to run, time does not run against him while the disability lasts and he may sue within the same period after it ceases; in that sense the period shall "remain suspended". Section 8 caps the extension, so it is not unlimited, and under section 9 time that has once begun to run is not stopped by a later disability.
