Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Order XVI rule 1(1) of the Code of Civil Procedure requires the parties to present their lists of witnesses within the time fixed by the court, and not later than "15 days after the issues are settled". The 30-, 45- and 90-day periods have no basis in the rule. Rule 1(3) lets the court, for sufficient cause and with recorded reasons, allow a witness not named in the list, but that does not change the ordinary time limit.
