Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 80 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 304-B IPC) creates 'dowry death' as a distinct offence based on a statutory presumption rather than proof of intent, and it is therefore treated as a form of constructive homicide, making "Constructive homicide/section 80" the correct pairing.
