Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 110 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 308 IPC) punishes an "Attempt to commit culpable homicide": an act done with such intention or knowledge that, if it caused death, it would be culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

Attempt to murder is section 109. The BNS contains no separate offence of being a thug, and attempt to commit suicide is punishable only in the limited case in section 226 (an attempt made to compel or restrain a public servant).
