Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 2(39) BNS provides that words and expressions used but not defined in the Sanhita but defined in the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 have the meanings assigned to them in that Act and Sanhita. “Electronic record” is defined in section 2(1)(t) of the Information Technology Act, 2000 (the IPC had an express cross-reference in section 29A, which the BNS does not reproduce). The reference is to the Act itself, rather than the Telegraph Act or the security-procedure rules.
