Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under Section 2(11) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, "legal representative" means a person who in law represents the estate of a deceased person, and includes any person who intermeddles with the estate of the deceased and, where a party sues or is sued in a representative character, the person on whom the estate devolves on the death of the party so suing or sued. Accordingly, "A person who does not in law represent the estate of a deceased person." is not included.
