Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 61(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 120A IPC) defines criminal conspiracy as an agreement between two or more persons to do, or cause to be done, an illegal act, or an act which is not illegal by illegal means, so it means "Agreement between two persons for doing an illegal act". Where the agreement is not one to commit an offence, some act besides the agreement must be done in pursuance of it. An agreement to do an immoral act, or a plan to oppose social traditions or to press the Government by lawful means, is not criminal conspiracy.
