Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Explanation 1 to section 98 of the BNS says that a person who sells or disposes of a female under eighteen to a person who keeps or manages a brothel "shall, until the contrary is proved, be presumed" to have disposed of her with intent that she be used for prostitution. The presumption is rebuttable, not conclusive, and a child's consent is no defence.
