Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Under Section 49 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 54 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872), the previous bad character of an accused in criminal proceedings is irrelevant unless evidence has been given that he has a good character, so it is "not relevant except in reply".
