Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The observation is from State of Tamil Nadu v R Vasanthi Stanley. In considering criminal proceedings involving financial transactions, the Court held that the accused's gender did not justify quashing the case. The statement addresses that plea; it does not erase the specific ingredients of offences that a statute defines by reference to gender.
