Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 67 BNSS (formerly section 65 CrPC) permits affixation at the person’s ordinary residence when service cannot, despite due diligence, be effected by the earlier methods under Sections 64 to 66. Courier delivery and newspaper publication are not the statutory substitutes described there. Section 64 also allows service by electronic communication in the prescribed manner, so affixation remains available alongside expanded service methods.
