Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 71 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 376E IPC, inserted in 2013), for repeat offenders, provides imprisonment for life, "which shall mean imprisonment for the remainder of that person's natural life", or death.

Twenty years' rigorous imprisonment is the minimum for some aggravated rapes, such as gang rape under section 70(1), not the punishment under section 71, and simple imprisonment is not provided.
