Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 14 authorises refund of "so much of the fee paid on the application as exceeds the fee which would have been payable had it been presented before such day", that is, before the ninetieth day. The applicant still bears the lower, pre-ninetieth-day fee; he does not get back the whole fee or any fee on the original plaint.
