Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 178 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 232 IPC for Indian coin) punishes counterfeiting coin, Government stamps, currency-notes and bank-notes with imprisonment for life or imprisonment up to ten years, and liability to fine. The First Schedule to the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 classifies it as cognizable, non-bailable and triable by the Court of Session. The Magistrate and non-cognizable alternatives do not match that entry.
