Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 38 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 100 IPC) lists the cases in which the right of private defence of the body extends to causing death, and section 41 (formerly section 103 IPC) does the same for the defence of property, both subject to the limits in section 37. Section 40 only states when the right of private defence of the body begins and how long it lasts. So the answer is "Both Sec. 38 and Sec. 41 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023".
