Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 146(1) of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 141 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) defines a leading question as any question suggesting the answer which the person putting it wishes or expects to receive. Hence "Question which suggests the answer"; a question that does not suggest the answer is not leading, and leading to the discovery of a fact is not the test. The rest of Section 146 regulates when leading questions may be asked.
