Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 111 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 108 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) shifts the burden of proving that a person is alive once it is shown that those who would naturally have heard of the person have not heard of that person for seven years. It does not automatically prove the exact date of death or that death occurred on the first day of absence.
