Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Under section 2(11) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 52 IPC), nothing is said to be done or believed in good faith which is done or believed without due care and attention. Good faith therefore means "an act done with due care and attention"; honesty or a bona fide belief alone, which is enough under the General Clauses Act, does not meet the BNS definition.
