Correct answer A

Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, the right of private defence of the body extending to any harm other than death is in section 39 (formerly section 101 IPC), dowry death in section 80 (formerly section 304B), voluntarily causing grievous hurt by acid in section 124(1) (formerly section 326A), and punishment for extortion in section 308(2) (formerly section 384). The correct sequence is therefore "iv i ii iii". Ordinary extortion under section 308(2) now carries a maximum of seven years, compared with three years under the former section 384.
