Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Section 30 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly Section 92 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860) protects an act done in good faith for the benefit of a person even without that person's consent when the circumstances make it impossible for that person to signify consent and there is no guardian or person in lawful charge from whom consent can be obtained in time. As shown by the statutory illustrations, a primary object of this exception is to protect medical practitioners (such as a surgeon performing an emergency operation on an unconscious patient) and emergency rescuers acting in good faith.
