Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Under section 430(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, a convicted person already on bail and sentenced to no more than three years is ordinarily released for sufficient time to present an appeal and seek the appellate court’s order, unless special reasons justify refusal. The alternative bailable-offence ground also requires the person to be on bail.
