Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 32(c) permits a fine not exceeding ₹5000 to compel attendance in response to a summons issued under section 30. The former ₹500 ceiling had already been increased by the 1999 amendment effective 1 July 2002, well before the exam. Other statutory methods, including warrant and attachment, do not alter this monetary ceiling.
