Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 16 BNS (formerly section 78 IPC) protects an act done in pursuance of, or warranted by, a court judgment or order while it remains in force, even if the court lacked jurisdiction, provided the person in good faith believes the court had jurisdiction. Section 15 instead protects a judge acting judicially.
