Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 304A IPC) punishes causing death by a rash or negligent act not amounting to culpable homicide, with imprisonment up to five years and fine. Such a death lacks the intention or knowledge required for culpable homicide under section 100, and it is not an accident protected by section 18, which requires a lawful act done in a lawful manner by lawful means and with proper care and caution, so it is "neither culpable homicide nor murder nor accidental death".
