Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 194(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 159 IPC) requires two or more persons fighting in a public place and disturbing the public peace. Five persons are needed for an unlawful assembly, not for an affray. A mere private quarrel without the statutory public-place and public-peace elements is insufficient.
