Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 20 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 82 IPC) says nothing is an offence which is done by a child "Under 7 years". Section 21 gives a child above seven and under twelve only a conditional immunity, where he has not attained sufficient maturity of understanding to judge the nature and consequences of his conduct, so eight, ten or twelve years is not the absolute limit.
