Correct answer C

Under section 336(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 463 IPC), forgery is the making of a false document or false electronic record, or part of one, with intent to cause damage or injury, to support a claim or title, to cause a person to part with property, or to commit fraud.
