Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 7 makes relevant facts necessary to explain a relevant fact or to rebut an inference suggested by it. Its illustration (c) says A's absconding is relevant under section 6 and that his sudden and urgent business is relevant to explain it, but the details of the business are relevant only so far as they show it was sudden and urgent; the explanation is not shut out, nor are all details let in.
