Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Instigation is abetment under section 45 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. Explanation 2 to section 46 states that completion of the act or intended effect is unnecessary and illustrates A instigating B to murder C, B refusing. A’s abetment is complete; B’s refusal does not make B an abettor. Section 55 addresses punishment where an abetted offence punishable with death or imprisonment for life is not committed. (Sections 45, 46 and 55 BNS were formerly sections 107, 108 and 115 IPC.)
