Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 118(f) of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 presumes, until the contrary is proved, "that a lost promissory note, bill of exchange or cheque was duly stamped".

The other statements reverse the actual presumptions: section 118(b) presumes that an instrument bearing a date was made or drawn on that date, and section 118(d) presumes that a transfer was made before maturity.
