Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Since a dead body is not capable of possessing property in law, dishonestly removing ornaments from it does not amount to theft, which requires taking from a living person's possession, but falls under section 315 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 404 IPC) as dishonest misappropriation of property in a deceased person's possession at death.
