Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Order XVI rule 1(1) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 requires the parties to present a list of witnesses on or before the date appointed by the court and not later than fifteen days "after settlement of issues". The list is tied to that stage, not to the period before issues are framed, and it cannot be filed at any time, since a witness not named in it may be called only with the court's leave under rule 1(3).
