Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

An accused person's previous good character is relevant in criminal proceedings under section 47 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023. Relevance allows the court to consider it; it does not by itself establish innocence or defeat proof of the offence. This differs from previous bad character, which is ordinarily irrelevant unless introduced in reply to evidence of good character.
