Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

A took M out of the keeping of her lawful guardian G without his consent, so A committed kidnapping from lawful guardianship under Section 137(1)(b) BNS (formerly section 361 IPC); M was no longer in anyone's lawful keeping when B took her from the street, so "Only A is guilty of kidnapping" and not "Both A and B are guilty of kidnapping".
