Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

By posting armed men at the exits, A prevents Z from proceeding beyond the limits of the building, which section 127(1), illustration (b) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 340 IPC) treats as "Wrongful confinement". Although confinement is a form of restraint, "Wrongful restraint" is the wider offence and not the one illustrated.
