Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 308 of the BNS covers putting a person in fear of injury and so dishonestly inducing him to deliver property or "anything signed or sealed which may be converted into a valuable security", and its illustration is this blank paper signed under fear of grievous hurt. It is not robbery, as there was no fear of instant hurt with delivery then and there, nor dacoity, which needs five or more persons, nor theft, as B delivered the paper himself.
