Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 106 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 304A IPC) punishes causing death by a rash or negligent act not amounting to culpable homicide. Dowry death (section 80), abetment of suicide (section 108) and culpable homicide not amounting to murder (section 105) have separate provisions; the absence of culpable-homicide ingredients is part of section 106 itself. Section 106(1) provides imprisonment up to five years and fine, with a two-year maximum and fine where a registered medical practitioner causes death while performing a medical procedure.
