Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Illustration (a) to section 65: "The agreement is void, but B must repay A the 1,000 rupees." When an agreement is discovered to be void, any person who has received an advantage under it "is bound to restore it". Whether B knew of C's death makes no difference to this duty.
