Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Illustration (b) to section 127(1) of the BNS describes this case: by placing armed men at the outlets and threatening to have Z fired at if he tries to leave, A wrongfully confines Z. Z was kept within the building, not made to go anywhere, so it is not abduction or kidnapping, and nothing was delivered for extortion.
